The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Mark Haddon
If you’re anything like me, and you find yourself smiling to yourself about little ironies and logic loopholes, then you’ll probably enjoy this book.
From the back cover:
Christopher John Francis Bourne knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow. The improbable story of Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unuusal, and widely heralded novels in recent years.”
