Join us for our August book club! We will be reading The Curious
Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
"Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world
and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well
to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand
to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.
Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, for fifteen-year-old
Christopher everyday interactions and admonishments have little
meaning. He lives on patterns, rules, and a diagram kept in his
pocket. Then one day, a neighbor's dog, Wellington, is killed and his
carefully constructive 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 funny,
poignant and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and
blessing are a mind that perceives the world entirely literally."
