yes, i started high fidelity (again) by nick hornby. the main character, rob, has got some terrific lines in it. i'm the kind of reader who underlines great passages that either touch me or absolutely amuse me. here's two from the book:
"Attack and defense, invasion and repulsion...it was as if breasts were little pieces of property that had been unlawfully annexed by the opposite sex -- they were rightfully ours and we wanted them back."
"People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands -- literally thousands -- of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss."
i found this site with a few quotes from the book. the first one, about friends, is my favorite.
