The Curious Incident of A Dog In The Nighttime

I tested my new voice recorder, reading a few pages from The Curious Incident of A Dog In The Nighttime and found the book to be lyrical and almost too easy to read.

It reminded me of an episode of House ('Lines in the Sand') about Wilson's observation that House wanted to be autistic. I think it's not just House - everyone secretly wants to be autistic, to have the amazing mental faculties, the ability to shut out everyone else, to live with just the basic food, shelter and hygiene, and to be absolutely honest and forgiven because of autism.
