book review
hello..
this isn't exactly a book review. i just want to intro an interesting book. u might have heard of it.
"The curious incident of the dog in the night-time"
by Mark Haddon
--"although gifted with a superbly logical brain, fifteen-year-old Christopher is autistic and everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. He lives on patterns, rules, and a diagram kept in his pocket. Then one day, a neighbour's dog, Wellington, is killed and his carefully constructed universe is threatened. Christopher sets out to solve the murder in the style of his favourite (logical) detective, Sherlock Holmes. What follows makes for a novel that is deeply funny, poignant and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing are a mind that perceives the world entirely literally."
go get it! there is already a trick on the very first page. =P
to my mysterious fren who has a mysterious blog: i didn't know he's really autistic till i saw the back cover. and i can't find the name of his disease!

Ahahaha... nice book! It tells you that you can navigate around London by moving out in a spiral.
The disease is Asperger's Syndrome. It's somewhere in the book, I'm quite sure :)
Oh yes if you're very free, you can try the spiral thing at orchard road.
