High fidelity nick5/23/2023 There's nothing wrong with the book, still one of my favorites, although it does feel dated - not just because so much of today's technology is absent, but the passage of time has not been kind to Hornby's pop culture references (there isn't even a mention of Ben Folds, who became a big part of Hornby's musical canon but hadn't yet recorded when High Fidelity was written). An unabridged audio edition was not available on Audible until recently, finally got a chance to listen to it, and - not at all what I hoped for. Read the book, saw the movie, watched the Hulu reboot, loved them all. The audio edition of High Fidelity? Not even in my top 5 audio listens of the month of May (and I only listened to seven audiobooks in May in whole or in part). My top 5 streaming TV series during the original COVID quarantine: Tiger King, Queen's Gambit, Star Trek Picard, Bridgerton, and High Fidelity. My top 5 books of the mid-90s: The Ice Storm, Into Thin Air, Harry Potter, Election, and High Fidelity My top 5 movies around 2000: American Beauty, Almost Famous, Amelie, Memento, and High Fidelity.
