It seemed a shame to let yesterday stop at midnight, so I carried over the spirit of the day for a couple of hours this morning and finished reading 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' - one of the purchases yesterday. Not only a very quick read, but an immensely enjoyable one. In brief it is life through the eyes of a young boy who suffers from Asperger Syndrome. A clear, concise, consistent and clean book that paints a picture of autistic-like behaviour from the inside. I'm not sure I can explain what I mean by 'clean', but by the end of the book it's as if the reader is lacking in social skills not the hero Christopher. Recommended.

Glad to hear that it has got Benedict's seal of approval though.
You'll definitely rip through it on the plane back. Give you time for a quick snooze before landing as well. :+)
