So, I finally decided to read this book for a BR after many many recommendations, but it really disappointed me :(
Don Tillman is tall, fit, organized college professor and falls in love with Rosie who wears heavy frame glasses, prefers all black and is addicted to cigarettes (?) O.O
O.o
Anyway, they are complete opposite to each other. But Don loves Rosie, and Rosie loves Don. But she doesn't accept it because - oh wait- he is too meticulous!? Or may that's how I interpret it! But anyway, they ...more

I will definitely advise Bill and Melinda to watch the entire "The Big Bang Theory" series they will definitely enjoy watching Sheldon being unable to cope with sarcasm.

I loved this book, with its clueless but brilliant narrator, Don. Fun writing style, interesting thoughts about folks with different ways of thinking and processing information. Of course, there must be a movie.

great book, very funny at times
Fun book that raises some good questions about identity formation and the self as well as how these relate to questions of family and love.
