Good reads post 1.

The most compelling thing I found about this book was how different Don's (the narrator and main character) world is from mine. When I say world, i do not mean the world around him, but I mean the way he carries himself, the way he speaks, the way he interacts, his MONOTONOUS selection of friends, and his ALTRUISM of a logical solution to love. Don is a socially challenged person, imagine the biggest nerd that a nerd can be. His life is dedicated to science, social experiments, and the use of academic debate in his arguments. We think about what we say before we say it, regarding other people's emotions and avoiding awkwardness. Don does not do that, and does not know how to do that. Everything he says is logical and rational, most of the time its mean and he does not realize. Adding on to the humor of this book. My biggest challenge when reading this book was finding the time to actually read it. After INNUMERABLE attempts to read, I just could not find the time in which I could really focus and get lost in my book. I finally found the perfect time, and that was after dinner each night. My greatest success in reading this book was catching all the context clues and eliminating the time consuming use of the dictionary. This book is full of high academic vocabulary, and I did well at comprehending the pages i read and it allowed me to not waste time. Although I did have to re-read some pages twice, i found this only benefitted to my understanding of this novel. I predict that there will be a big lesson learnt at the end. Im gonna take a wild guess and predict that the lesson has to do with love, and that love is not a science experiment.

I agree with you that one of the biggest challenges in reading a book is to find time. It is hard to study and do homework and on top of that to find time to "pleasure" read. Your book sound interesting to read as well.
