The curious Incident of the dog in the night- time


It’s a Sunday morning… and I'm spending it lazily reading Mark Haddon. It’s an interesting book with a long title “The curious Incident of the dog in the night- time”. The protagonist of the story is an autistic savant and while he's a whiz at math and science, human emotions are particularly complex for him. As the novel opens, he tells us "I know all of the countries of the world and their capital cities, and every prime number up to 7,057." He finds a neighbor's dog, named Wellington, murdered and with the help of his teacher, Siobhan, he decides to write a book about his attempt to solve this mystery. Its how the story goes on…

BTW I got a job, last Wednesday and started working Thursday onwards. I have to travel two hours in train to reach the workplace and hope this space will be filled with Mark Haddon. See Ya!
