The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

By Mark Haddon. This was an interesting book. It was neat to see the way his brain processed. While reading it, I was thinking that the main character was autistic and I found this at amazon...

...is a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.

Thank you, John, for sharing it with me.
