That's a long title for a book, Dad! 
Seriously, I knew someone with Asperger, he studies with me. I dated him for a day, he broke up with me after he found out I supported the "wrong"
football team. Gotta admit, he's about the smartest person I've ever met, never made notes in college yet passed every subject, and spoke 11
languages.

Now reading a superb play by Friedrich Durrenmatt, called Der Besuch der alten Dame, "the visit from the old lady". An old, wealthy, eccentric lady
visits her home town, and announces she will give a billion (probably Marken or Francs) to the town, provided somebody will kill her former lover who
left her after she got pregnant.
The mayor refuses the offer, because the man's a well-respected citizen, but the people in the village already start spending huge sums of money...

Lost interest in The Crow Road Im afraid BB. I was really enjoying it, until about the 250 page mark, and realised that nothing had really happened AT
ALL, and nothing pointed to anything happening either! The author tends to take 30 minutes for a 5 minute journey....
I very rarely put books down, but I was just totally bored with it!
And then I started The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien......WHOA. HEAVY SHIT. This is interesting, but soo in depth and difficult. I am trying and
perservering though!!

Please do! The first book of it (maybe the first two) was quite hard to get through for me, but the actual Silmarillion book is enjoyable!.
Was in Amsterdam today, and went into the American Book Store. And in the children's section, I found:
The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless by Ahmet Zappa!
I read it on the way back home, just finished it. Quite an enjoyable read it is too! The Ahmet illustrations are not too great, but the photoshopping
is enjoyable! Ahmet uses himself and Frank in some of them, is cool! Also quite some Zappa references.
Sad to see him ending his lengthy Thank You page with the most thanks to his amazing wife, who he'll love forever and ever. Ouch... How old is that
book anyway?
