I finished reading High Fidelity Nick Hornby of in an unauthorized edition but reliable. The novel is the story of Rob, a passionate music fan who keeps a teenager fervently despite the years. Rob builds and destroys relationships and Amicale from the experience in songs, TV series and films that he considers essential. Rob
account with the complicity of a couple of music freaks, Dick and Barry, who work as employees in their shabby record shop in the suburbs of London, the Championship Vinyl, a local " full of editions for collectors or for the serious record collector, says an ironic label showcase outdated ". They find limited editions, demos, bonus tracks, B sides, special versions, discontinued or out of print, imported editions, all of them gems for collectors. Rob and his friends are the interface between the slow demise of cassettes and the emergence of CDs, before the era of MP3, so the time of the novel is still a paradise for collectors of music-object.
are two issues that jump and intertwine throughout the novel: Rob persistence in getting the love of a woman, to get it but not retain, explaining over and over again the reasons for their failures and sentimental his hunger for music, ranging from soul, rhythm & blues, rock and punk. Rob is a label that claims to know a person who is a friend of Johnny Rotten, the Sex Pistols in and has moved into the London musical hosted the birth of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who and The Clash , among others.
is this fanaticism that permeates the texts High Fidelity, Rob's life is like Championship Vinyl , "smelling of stale smoke, damp, plastic protective covers" , a space where Rob not encouraged "to do a thorough cleaning or to change the decoration of top-down" , or risk losing their own identity, and in this case eternal adolescence. Without assuming the responsibilities of their physical maturation, Rob is going pigeon-holing the cassettes and CDs, situations and musical tastes, your perception of people and their relationships. His lists passion for him to remember his "5 most memorable breakups, which led me to a desert island" and describe a person like that for their 5 favorite movies.
Not being considered a mature person capable of assuming greater responsibilities in life, Rob is ousted from the Top of The List in long-term decisions of potential partners, including, although not like to admit, List your last love Laura, who decides to leave by one of its neighbors: Ray, whose only apparent merit, at least to Rob, is to be an athlete intercourse.
Abandoning Laura, becomes the first major break in the tape greatest hits (or failures, as you look at it) that Rob has recorded himself as a road map in life. From there Rob looks at his old tracks, that is their top five failures, and at 36 years start asking many questions about what really is life.
As When Love Breaks Down of Prefab Sprout , Laura Rob flees after the break, just to avoid facing certain truths. Meanwhile Rob is immersed in a hail of typical questions as why? What happened? Is it someone else?
While writhing in doubt about what will Laura in the post-breakup, to revisit his five most memorable breakups realize that people evolve over time, that nothing stays the same unlike his songs that always ring the same way. Rob then embarks on an affair with Marie LaSalle light, an American rock, only to discover that the illusions of the music world are just that, that neither the sheath nor the benefits that can justify a person fall in love. It is from then that Rob makes clear, even inadvertently, that Laura really has moved to first place in the ranking of the worst breakup of his life.
And like a cassette tape is stretched with a pencil so you can run either on the reels, Rob is subject to an adjustment in life: the death of the father of Laura. Since there are questions about the role of death in the lives of those left behind and wondered whether his reluctance to keep a couple was not due to his fear of aging and especially to see growing old with the woman he loves and ultimately to lose because of the death, so says " The separation involves death by force must be more painful than the separation caused by emigration, without doubt"
get stuck in a musical era is somehow stay anchored to a portion the past and that's what Rob did, anchored to a teenager not to suffer. For its part Laura decided to return with Rob during the funeral of his father, saying: "What I need at all costs is to be with someone who knows someone with whom I get along. You have made it clear that want to go back to being together, so ... ", because the affair with Ryan was not serious and could not cope with what comes, this relationship was only an escape and a trigger to break the battered relationship I had with Rob.
Near the end of the novel are two important things happen through a meeting Laura social determinism tests that Rob has imposed on people which is to classify them according to your taste in music, to find a charming and intelligent couple who like Tina Turner, Billy Joel and perhaps Silly Love Songs Paul and Linda McCartney. The other important issue is the appearance of Caroline, who moves the emotional foundation of Rob, and even makes him forget his list of five songs that take on a desert island, only to conclude that the start of a passion can not be at love built up a handheld. HiFi
is a novel with soundtrack , funny and ironic, with a deep reflection on love, conversion to adulthood and the growing fear and a review from blues soul and rock'n'roll precursor to the history of British rock from the Beatles to the birth of punk. This novel reminds us that life is like a tape of songs, experiences and emotions that we touch and update each day

Which came first: the music or the misery? "I got to listen to music because I was sad? Or is she was sad because I listened sad? Do not you make all these records on a person of melancholy trend?

Until When love breaks down The things you do
To stop the truth from hurting you
