The Rosie Project

Author: Graeme Simsion

This was one of those books that left to myself I would’ve read it one sitting; but we all know how life goes Smile

It’s a love story but it’s different (seems like a line straight from the mouth of a bollywood actor). The hero of the love story, Don, is on the spectrum of autism, highly intelligent, socially inept, very organized and looking for a wife. In his past experiences with women, he realized that they were all the wrong women and he wasted time in figuring out whether they could potentially be his wife. So he starts what he calls “The Wife Project”. As part of the project, he designs a questionnaire which must be filled by all prospective “wives” before he can date them. As part of this project he meets Rosie. Rosie is looking for her biological father and it so happens that Don has the resources to help her out. His journey through the Wife Project as well as helping Rosie find her father is hilarious!

If you’re looking for good humor, then this is it!

Daffodils make a statement...



When March knocks on the door
Daffodils step out of the earth
Wiping the gray and white of the winter
as if the sun has risen
shining in bright hues of yellow
Announcing to the earth
Spring is here!
