'The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-Time'

A really, really good book. Written in the first person from the perspective of a 15-year-old boy with Asperger Syndrome with a photographic memory and a brilliant mathematical mind.

I don't know how much knowledge Mark Haddon has about the mind of the autistic mind, but it's amazing to read from that perspective.

And I suspect that it's implied that Sherlock Holmes was autistic. I'm making this up. But it makes me laugh.
