I was driving Charles back from a doctor's appointment on Friday and I asked him about his summer reading requirements for school. My recollection from last summer was that the Seniors (that year) had a great selection to pick from. I actually read his book from last year (and really liked it).
I was looking forward to his Senior List this year.
Charles said the book he chose wasn't very good so far. It was about an autistic kid who was trying to figure out what happened to the neighbor's dog.
Charles was dumbfounded when I recognized the story, told him the name of the book - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - and told him it was one of my favorite books of all time.
I hope he stays with it.
The ending of the book was one of the two most satisfying book endings I have come across.
