The book is about an autistic teenager's quest to solve the mystery of who impaled the neighbours' dog on a pitchfork.<br /><br /><strong>Reasons for Enjoyment of Book:</strong> Liked main character because he remind subject of himself due to mutual affliction with autism.<br /><br /><strong>Favourite Experience:</strong> Dancing with beautiful bridesmaids at brother's wedding 5 years ago; subject claimed experience was "unforgettable!" Besides the obvious reasons for this statement, subject claimed it was an excellent form of exercise.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14188826-112067697395141786?l=michaelmacraesramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Macraehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00456344648742941343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14188826.post-1120590462494360492005-07-05T15:09:00.000-07:002005-07-05T12:09:30.510-07:00As noted in my profile, I don't like any music, a view which many people find odd. It is this which forces me to defend my views, and the argument you read covers all the points that I usually cover.<br /><br />It's a deliberate oversimplification when I say that I don't like any music, a statement that implies that I hate music and everything connected with it. This is false; in fact, I greatly enjoy singing, something closely linked to music. Rather, what I mean is that I cannot imagine listening to music or song for long periods, much less listening and doing nothing else, and I don't count dancing, gyrating, or singing to music to be an activity. Even more unthinkable to me is the idea of paying to listen to music and do nothing else<br /><br />I didn't intend to offend anyone and I apologize if I did.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Michael Macrae<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14188826-112059046249436049?l=michaelmacraesramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Macraehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00456344648742941343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14188826.post-1120500989818600272005-07-04T14:16:00.000-07:002005-07-04T11:51:05.126-07:00Hello everyone, and welcome to my new blog.
