h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've never seen it stated that he did, but he had some of the symptoms:

1. He was amazingly focused on obscure details.
2. He loved to stroke silk while he worked.

I feel sad that you've had no response, Gnomon. By the way: do you like to stroke silk while you work?

Bless you trunt!

Have either of you read "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time"

I haven't, but it looks very interesting.

It's very good, funny and sad.
There's a link to the first 37 chapters http://mostlyfiction.com/excerpts/curiousincident.htm)

If you haven't seen this already...

The first 37 chapters? That's wierdly generous. I do want to read that book. I'd heard and read reviews and it sounded really interesting. I find the autism continum fascinating. Has anyone read anything by Temple Grandin? I haven't but I saw her at a reading, which was also very interesting.

Er, there aren't actually 37 chapters - it's just that he (very sensibly) uses primes to number the chapters.

It all makes perfect sense. It really does.

I just checked out Temple Grandin -unusual name, unusual person it appears.
