About the book
Rob Fleming, a 35-year-old music obsessive, runs Championship Vinyl, a struggling record shop in London, and his girlfriend Laura, a lawyer, has just left him. Miserable and yet relieved, he passes the hours with his clerks Dick and Barry, ranking songs, films and other pop culture in top-five lists, and draws up one of his own: his five most memorable breakups. He remains unsure that he wants to commit to anyone at all. Nick Hornby's 1995 debut novel has sold more than a million copies and became a film, a Broadway musical and a TV series.
Tim Ferriss put it on his list of top fiction for non-fiction addicts, saying it shows that everyone eventually has to grow up, drop adolescent self-importance and own their life.
