Books

I completed reading 2 books in the past 1 week. They are

1) Alive and Well in Pakistan.
I know the title sounds cruel in present context. Coming to the book, it's a book by one Ethan Casey, an american freelance journalist. Kind of travelogue. He visits Kashmir(Indian side) first and after a while visits Pakistan and stays there working as a lecturere in a college. He befriends some people at local club while playing tennis, he interacts with his students, he grows a beard,...
But nothing enlightening or very entertaining here. You'll not miss anything if yo have missed this book.
I am kind of very interested in the nation of Pakistan. I must have read atleast 4 or 5 books related to Pakistan.
I plan to visit that country. And hopefully write a book about my experiences. ;)

2)The curious incident of Dog in the night time.
It's a very famous book. It's about an autisitc boy, Christopher who investigates murder of a neighbourhood poodle (a type of dog). The investigation leads to many interesting discoveries about his family. His character's unique way of looking at things makes book very interesting. It's refreshing. But at the end, when kid travels from his father's place to London , where his mother lives, it gets a bit boring.
I will recommend this small book.

Here is something that connects me to the main character in the book. I don't look into eyes of the person I am talking to. And I am good at math. Ok, I am not autistic. It's just that I have certain variations built in.:)
