The Rosie Project

After looking at the cover of this book for several years and assuming for some reason (?) it was about a child, this book took me completely by surprise. Although he did remind me at times of Sheldon from The Big Bang theory, the protagonist is a character unlike any other. His quest for self understanding, and his struggle to reconcile rationality with emotion, was at times hilarious, always interesting, and consistently well written. I loved this book and have already begun the sequel!
