Is it possible to share your life with someone whose record collection is incompatible with your own? Can people have terrible taste and still be worth knowing? Do songs about broken hearts and misery and loneliness mess up your life if consumed in excess?
For Rob Fleming, thirty-five years old, a pop addict and owner of a failing record shop, these are the sort of questions that need an answer, and soon. His girlfriend has just left him. Can he really go on living in a poky flat surrounded by vinyl and CDs or should he get a real home, a real family and a real job? Perhaps most difficult of all, will he ever be able to stop thinking about life in terms of the All Time Top Five bands, books, films, songs - even now that he's been dumped again, the top five break-ups?
This was the first Nick Hornby book I read, almost 10 years ago, and it remains one of my all time top five books. I've re-read it several times since and I still love every word. Registered for the Australian Virtual Bookbox.

RELEASE NOTES:
Arrived safely yesterday. This is one of my favourite Nick Hornby books. I have it in my PC, but I wanted it so I could bookcross it. I like to bookcross books that I really like, but some I just can't bear to part with. Thanks kirst040!
