High Fidelity: Chapters 1-6

In the opening chapters of the book we’re introduced to Rob. I have mixed feelings about Rob. He seems pretty down-to-earth, which makes me like him but then other times he seems really obsessive, which makes me steer away from him. He appears to me like a real guy that has a bit of trouble with relationships. I would have legitimate sympathy for his situation if he wasn’t so weird about it. It’s one thing to be sad about losing a girl or to think about stuff that’s happening in your life. It’s another thing entirely to make neurotic lists about everything in your life. Don’t get me wrong…I like the idea of the lists. The lists are really cool in the book but if you think about an actual person making them…that would be kind of strange. I like the book so far and I’m hoping the lists will make me learn more about Rob.
