Chapters 30-35Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 30 Summary

Rob lists his top five jobs, which include music journalist, music producer, musician, film director, and architect. The last entry, he admits, is not particularly exciting and is only on the list because he feels the need to form a complete top five. When he shows the list to Laura, she points out that he would rather work in a music store than be an architect. Rob agrees, and since the other entries are impractical, Laura suggests that he basically works his dream job already. When Rob asks Barry and Dick about their own dream jobs list, they offer up equally impractical solutions. 

Chapter 31 Summary

Rob and Laura visit Rob’s parents. Although he is unsure about the exact ramifications, Rob feels as though the visit is “sort of official, like we’re announcing something” (295). He appreciates that Laura’s presence averts the typical arguments that Rob has with his parents over inconsequential matters. 

Chapter 32 Summary

Rob looks at posters for upcoming concerts. While he used to know the name of every band, however obscure, he is losing touch with the cultural zeitgeist. As he examines the posters, he notices an advert for the club night where he used to DJ.
