#14: High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

High Fidelity has been one of my favorite movies for many years, and it has now become one of my favorite books. The protagonist, Rob, is a thirty-somthing guy in a relationship crisis. He questions his life in relationship to friends, family, music, and love. However, Hornby takes what could be a difficult scenario and turns it into an honest account of what it feels like to have real self doubt. The book is funny, meaningful, and ultimately true to the mistakes we all make and the lovely redemption that follows. Now I’ve got to go watch the movie again…
