Summer reading fun for my older friends:
There's a really good novel out there called the curious incident of the dog in the night-time. It was written by Mark Haddon and published by Doubleday in 2003 to rave reviews. From the book description: "Despite his overwhelming fear of interacting with people, Christopher, a mathematically gifted, autistic fifteen-year-old boy, decides to investigate the murder of a neighbor's dog and uncovers secret information about his mother." Reportedly, its film rights were purchased by Brad Pitt but no production date has been set so far. Meanwhile, it has inspired many fake movie trailers. Here is one of the best:
