A book

I finished reading a book in about 6 hours... in between giving tuition to my cousin :P Was bored from waiting for him to finish doing his sums, so I took a book from his shelf and started reading. It was his supposed Literature book... supposed because he dropped Literature and took up D&T not long after school began this year.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

Yep, that's the title of the book. Winner of the Whitbread Book of the Year. Written by Mark Haddon.

I've not read his books before, but I found this book to be special in its own way. The book chapter numbering was refreshing, the mixing of fact with fiction was refreshing, the story in itself was refreshing... and it all began with the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.

The two meetings today I had were enlightening... and I am surprised at the amount of work that has and will be done in 2008. Two more meetings later... and probably more surprises awaiting.

Well, it's a nice book to have for Literature I think... quite easy to understand and analyse.
