Hey. I finally bought the copy of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon! Haha, it is quite interesting. The main character suffers from Asperger's Syndrome as he is quite anti social and spends more time on maths and logic. He founds a dead dog with a pitchfork sticking out of it and thus decided to investigate it.
I suppose you like it? I also finally finished reading the book after so many false starts. Kept reading halfway or three-quarters of the way than stopped. :-p
I thought it was rather interesting becaues the author was able to place himself in the main character's eccentric personality.
