'The Rosie Project: A Novel' by Graeme Simsion
Gates doesn't review a lot of fiction, but "The Rosie Project," which came on the recommendation of his wife Melinda, is an oddly perfect fit.
"Anyone who occasionally gets overly logical will identify with the hero, a genetics professor with Asperger's Syndrome who goes looking for a wife," he writes. "(Melinda thought I would appreciate the parts where he's a little too obsessed with optimizing his schedule. She was right.)"
The book is funny, clever, and moving, Gates says, to the point that he read it in one sitting.
