So the book for this month, a much shorter work, is The Reason I Jump by Naoki Higashida. The epub and mobi copies are uploaded to the dropbox folder. I doubt I'll be able to get the audio before the end of the month, so it looks like fake paper it is!
Also, it looks like, by common consent, December will be a catch-up month, and the next official book will be for January. Warren is on deck, but should he pass it's Jonathan, then Randi, then Cindy. I don't know who all is participating, so I'll call you when it gets to your turn. Be thinking about what you want to choose!
I didn't realize HOW short this was when I switched to this one, but I'm definitely glad I read it. It was really interesting. Plus, Warren was reading it last night, and he pointed to a couple of paragraphs, and he said, "That. That's me." It's kind of nice to have that insight!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the insight the book provided into the thinking processes of a person with Autism. It's easy, when seeing autism, to think there's nothing going on in the mind, that the person simply lacks the capacity to use gray matter, when in fact, it's not a problem of the mind, at all, but rather some disconnect between the rational brain and the use of the body to communicate effectively.
