I read "High Fidelity" on a flight from Frankfurt to Denver once, and have had a soft spot for Hornby ever since. I'm *really* anxiously awaiting his film adaptation of Dave Eggers's "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius." I love both of those books (and the movies).

I get completely sucked into the movie whenever its on and I read the original. I've *got* to get the book for High Fidelity.

Another good one is David Benioff's The 25th Hour, although I don't recommend it if you've seen the movie because it's almost exactly the same. High Fidelity is a great airplane book.

I seem to be unique among almost all of my acquaintances in that respect, though. If I may say this without sounding too pretentious, it's treatment of Sept. 11 reminded me a lot of James Joyce's treatment of the "Irish troubles" in Dubliners--that is, it's not really about Sept. 11 per-se, but that subject is always lurking in the background.
