The Rosie Project / Graeme Simsion / 292 pages

This little book is great.  It is funny, poignant, and satisfying.  Don Tillman, professor of genetics at a University in Australia, has Asperbergers and he knows he is lacking in social expertise.  He decides he wants to find a wife and develops a survey with questions that are vetted to provide statistically accurate results.  He plans the "wife project" with all of the best scientific approaches and then Rosie Jarman who definitely cannot pass most of the qualities of a compatible wife walks into his life.  The book is populated with characters who try to help Don in social situations but also use him and sometimes make fun of him.  You will be pulling for Don all the way as he discovers what love really is.  You can't help but love this book.
