Yesterday was Saturday... after settling some AIESEC stuff in meeting, I got really restless in the room in SMU... so cold and so bright... just made me wanna get out of there into some light or temperature that was more natural...
anyway, so I headed to the nearest book store, hunted around for something good to read and bought this book
"the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon
the book has been around for quite a long time now so I won't be surprised if most of you have already read it...
But for those who haven't, definitely a book I would recommend, simply because of how uniquely and differently the story is told... it's written in 1st person perspective, by a 15 year old boy who is autistic.. he struggles with emotions and deeper meanings, and he thrives with rules, processes, logic, math and literal meaning...
I think the story's very real and Mark Haddon did a great job of getting the reader to sink into the world of an autistic child... it's a point of view that that most of us never consider so reading this book definitely challenges one's views...
by the way, Mark Haddon has another book titled "A Spot of Bother"... I'm thinking to get hold of that one as well...
And like I was telling Pui, I do think I need to read slower... cos now I am out of books to read again...
