That's what I said the other day. He seems crazy at times...
Reading update?

Hey so I read a bit more today and completed nearly 18%.

Don is hilarious and a nice character :) Except for the cinematic ending and drag in few chapters, it's a delight to read this :)
Hey Gehna....I have read this book!Can I give out spoilers for free...or atleast at discount rates? :-P;-);-)
Mod
@Gehna I am about 38% or so done...Don's change was so sudden! I mean, I cannot believe such an organized person, such an OVER-ORGANIZED person, can change in a way in which he would prepare and serve drinks and forget all of his academics and routines...even if it is love, it seems far-fetched!
@Meera No....but you can PM Gehna :P
@Shoa Please join if you can!
Sheetal, how much done for today? :PHarry, you have read this book? :O
Everyone has read it but me :/
Meera, don't! *ties Meera to a chair with tape on her mouth*
@Gehna I am not adding The Prince to my tbr right now, will do some time later....my own silly reason :P
@Shoa, yes, please join if possible :)@Aditya, you are again ahead of me, so I have no idea about what you said, so I will and then reply....
Can you use spoiler tags?
If it is possible :-)

Aditya, add it abhi read it later. I won't force you ^_^
Mod
@Gehna I am nearly 30% done what about you?
Sheetal, I am 42% done B-)Thoughts till 30%? :)
I will do that, Gehna
Great . I find it very different from anything i have read . Don is so systematic , I just can't imagine being so organized . Rosie is just introduced in the book so can't say much about her.
Aditya, little prince? ^_^ :P
Sheetal : He reminds me of Benedict as Sherlock :P
Gehna : I have not seen the serial.btw i just completed the book. what about you?
Gehna wrote: "Aditya : Now I get you. Don has changed! I wasn't expecting that to happen! The guy is superb!You reached that drink serving wala part?
Temme when you do! :D "
I did, and it was a funny episode, true, but irrationality on the part of an ultra-rational man sounds a bit off to me...
Gehna wrote: "Aditya, little prince? ^_^ :P"Yep, I added it...
Sheetal wrote: "Gehna : I have not seen the serial.btw i just completed the book. what about you?"
Liked it? :D
67% done :)
Aditya, that part was weird, but I liked Don's narration. He is sorta meticulous, and this irritates me sometimes, but anyway, let's see.... :|

^_^
Aditya, I am 67% done..... wbu? What's happening in the story?We will discuss accordingly :)
Aditya, have you heard Rhythm Of Love by Plane White T'?
Gehna, I am around 48% done...Don's drafted this whole proposal for a research that didn't exist, just for her -_-....and is asking her to go with him to New York -_-I don't think I am even going to give it a 3-star if it doesn't improve soon...
And about the song, I have not heard that song, but Hey There Delilah is one of my all-time favourites....now I am going to listen to it certainly!!!
And, you are on instagram now, so upload some pics atleast!!!!
I know... I had this same -_- expression with that... Episode of the dancer...Bianca?I wont go less than three, but I had more expectations after all those recs and 5 star reviews :/
Oh, I too love Hey There Delilah! But this one... Rhythm if love, is similar to a scene in Rosie... So try it and then I will tell you about the resemblance :)
And I am not on instagram. I was just checking those pics you have added and I don't know how I am following you now -_-
I made an account only to look at the pics, cause otherwise it doesn't allow to view them -.-
Have you read or seen TFiOS?
Yeah...Bianca is over...Even I had better expectations from this book, we never know, it might improve....
I have neither read nor watched TFIOS, ane I don't think I am going to do that in the near future -_- Because I have developed an inexplicable hate for YA fiction...
Bianca : That part was unnecessary :/But I was really laughing out when Don was practicing with a skeleton XD
Don't read it if you haven't hyped books are always bad -_-
I was asking because I found some similarities between Rosie and TFiOS....
Tried Rhythm Of Love?? :)
It resembles with that Lobster date in the balcony! :D
Mod
Smitha, it is okay for me... 3.5 or 4 stars...
Aditya? Updates? :)
I don't know, 49% or so...I felt that skeleton incident was really stupid, I mean, it's Don we are talking about, seriously!!
The idea was ridiculous :PWhat's happening in the story? :)
New York episode is even more idiotic :P

An international sensation, this hilarious, feel-good novel is narrated by an oddly charming and socially challenged genetics professor on an unusual quest: to find out if he is capable of true love.
Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a “wonderful” husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical—most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.
Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent—and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.
