High Fidelity/Fever Pitch/About a Boy by Nick Hornby

Description

HIGH FIDELITY: Do you know your desert-island, all-time, top five most memorable split-ups?
Rob does. He keeps a list, in fact. But Laura isn’t on it, even though she’s just become his latest ex. He’s got his life back, you see. He can just do what he wants when he wants: like listen to whatever music he likes, look up the girls that are on his list, and generally behaves as if Laura never mattered. But Rob finds he can’t move on. He’s stuck in a really deep groove and it’s called Laura. Soon, Rob’s asking himself some big questions: about love, about life and about why we choose to share ours with the people we do.

FEVER PITCH:
In America, it is soccer. But in Great Britain, it is the real football. No pads, no prayers, no prisoners. And that’s before the players even take the field.
Fever Pitch is one for the home team. But above all, it is one for everyone who knows what it really means to have a losing season.

ABOUT A BOY:

At thirty-six, he’s as hip as a teenager. He’s single, child-free, goes to the right clubs and knows which trainers to wear. He’s also found a great way to score with women: attend single parents’ groups full of available (and grateful) mothers, all hoping to meet a Nice Guy.
