Is it possible to share your life with someone whose record collection is incompatible with your own? Can people have terrible taste and still be worth knowing? Do songs about broken hearts and misery and loneliness mess up your life if consumed in excess? For Rob Fleming, thirty-five years old, a pop addict and owner of a failing record shop, these are the sort of questions that need an answer, and soon. His girlfriend has just left him. Can he really go on living in a poky flat surrounded by vinyl and CDs or should he get a real home, a real family and a real job? Perhaps most difficult of all, will he ever be able to stop thinking about life in terms of the All Time Top Five bands, books, films, songs – even now that he’s been dumped again, the top five break-ups? Memorable, sad and very, very funny, this is the truest book you will ever read about the things that really matter.

就像《失戀排行榜》中的洛,我也是常常將自己拉嚮兩個完全相反的方嚮,而顯然某種程度不切實際的非理性是先決條件。一個心靈上永遠是單身的英國男人有傢自己的唱片店,他的精神寄托和慰籍就是一遍遍整理唱片,並在其中找尋過去現在和未來。整本小說也是一張長長的唱片目錄,喜...
評分 評分火柴亮起以後溫暖的光隨之也就升起,瞬間它就的使用價值就到頭瞭,熄滅以後取代它的是揮之不去的青煙。我俯身靠近書,聞到手腕上香水的後調,溫暖安心。我不知道這個後調對於男人而言是否性感,事實上我也不關心這個。我關心的是那個叫洛的中年男人和他的唱片店最終會如何。哦...
評分即便不是搖滾迷,這本書仍令人一氣嗬成地看完。而且,不象其他翻譯小說有著韆山萬水的隔膜,洛那點韆迴百轉的心思居然讓人如此熟悉,驚人的坦白又讓人會心一笑。可惜不是搖滾迷,可惜瞭洛羅列齣那麼多的排行榜,譯者又煞費苦心地做瞭大量譯注,讀者如我仿似牛嚼牡丹,豬八戒吃...
評分當我自己以為這本書不怎麼引人入勝的時候,我一點點把它看完瞭, 當我覺得意識到我居然看完瞭這本書的時候,我發現自己還想看一遍。 書中包含的感情既給人感覺熟悉,又陌生,有時候不知所以,有時候又非常直白,一針見血。 就本書這樣劍走偏鋒的風格,使得那樣像“棄坑”似的結...

錯瞭多少人 纔沒錯過你
評分典型的男人書, 前半部分特彆好笑,後半部分開始嚴肅。 娛樂之書.
評分也許是覺得從主角身上找到太多自己的影子,而且是缺點,所以有點抗拒。但不得不說,心理描寫太真實太齣色瞭
評分男主人公內心戲忒多瞭。。。
評分讓人在圖書館坐瞭一下午看到關門纔作罷
