The Rosie Project, by Graeme Simsion, 295 pages
Don Tillman is a genetics professor living with Asperger's, who just doesn't realize it. He has social difficulties, limited friends, lives an incredibly structured life, and decides to build a survey in order to find a wife who is perfect. Rosie Jarman is a young woman looking for genetics advice in her search to find her real father. Together they set out on a journey to find her father and find self-realization for Don. It is actually a book with humor and a cozy ending. The book club really enjoyed this book and it offered a great deal of discussion about the autism spectrum and what love is and isn't.
