The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Vintage Contemporaries)
I read this in a day when I worked at Bolen's (although I forgot to write it in my book journal!), and then re-read it in the summer of 2006. My book club chose to read it, so I wanted the story to be fresh in my mind (I wish I had a good memory for books, but I just don't). Told through the eyes of a 15 year old autistic boy, this book contains some amazing observations on life. It's also a mystery, as Christopher tries to find out who killed Wellington, the dog next door.
