Caught part of the movie "High Fidelity" with John Cusack yesterday afternoon. For some reason, while I was watching the move I was curious as to how it compared to the book - so I went out and bought it.
I've never read any Nick Hornby before, but I was so taken by his style, his conversation and his ability to nail the neuroses of the human male that I'm already over half way through the book.
Something of note: Hornby also wrote the book "Fever Pitch", which was turned into a movie starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore. Interesting to note, the team in the film was not the team Hornby originally wrote about in his book. For American audiences the setting was transferred to Boston during the Red Sox run at their first World Series win in 80+ years. Hornby's book follows a superfan of the Arsenal football club, a team in the English Premier League.
