So i'm reading this really good book. you should check it out. it's called the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by mark haddon. the main character christopher rules. he detests the collor yellow. here are some quotes from his detective story that he is compiling...
~Christopher does not like to 'chat' because 'chatting' is "where people say things to eachother which aren't questions and answers and aren't connected."
~Christopher doesn't let the past affect him because he "would be feeling sad about something that isn't real and doesn't exist. And that would be stupid."
~When thinking about the murder of the dog on his street he recalls a quote...
"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem."
which is latin and it means
"No more things should be presumed to exist than are absolutely necessary"
Christopher then concludes that "a murder victim is usually killed by someone known to them and fairies are made out of paper and you can't talk to someone who is dead."
*****
Christopher is an enjoyable/loveable character, even with all of his quirks(ie;not liking to be touched, not likeing yellow or brown things and refusing to touch yellow or brown things, refusing to use his toothbrush if anyone else has touched it, not eating food if different sorts of food are touching eachother, hating france, and getting cross when someone has rearranged the furniture.)
check this book out.
