 How awesome is this kid?  
  For those who haven't read it, it's all about a 15 year old  boy with Aspergers who finds his neighbours dog, dead  with a garden fork in him, and tries to find out who killed  him
 
  It's a fantastic book and you'll instantly fall in love with  Christopher

I know! Poor thing
  I love the part near the begning when he's talking about why  he can't tell a lie.
 
  ANd he says he likes dogs cause they're easy to understand  cause they only have 4 moods. Happy, sad, confused and  concentrating. And dogs cannot lie because the cannot speak

i wonder if the gov't really does pay you for being able to  decipher large prime numbers. i have to make this  conversation kinda short unfortunately because i'm going to  get banned soon :) have u read any other good books lately?   i tried to get through siddartha but i kinda just stopped in  the middle. it's just laziness by my part. i should've been  done with the book a long time ago. the story is  ridiculously short.

That's the first book outside of the Dark Tower by Stephen  King I've read in a while tbh
 
  I'm starting to read a book by Nial Griffiths called Kelly  and Viktor which is pretty cool. A modern day drug filled  love story from what I've read so far

It's written in a mind of welsh slang so it may be a little  tricky to pick up the structure of some of the sentanves,  but you'll get it pretty much =o)

This book is pretty ace! I read it in one sitting, which is   something, considering my short attention span.
 
  At one point I did get annoyed with his character when he  contradicted some of his beliefs. He told his mate that  imagining made up situations was stupid, then a couple of  pages on, he is imagines a made up situation himself. This  was probably done on purpose to show what sort of kid he is  tho i guess.

An OKish adn quick read but not something I think that will  go down as a contemporary classic. I might eat my words in  20 years but I doubt it.
