What I'm reading ...

I have started The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. This book was recommended to me as being a very amusing, but not trivial read. Here’s the blurb:

Love isn't an exact science - but no one told Don Tillman. A thirty-nine-year-old geneticist, Don's never had a second date. So he devises the Wife Project, a scientific test to find the perfect partner. Enter Rosie - 'the world's most incompatible woman' - throwing Don's safe, ordered life into chaos. But what is this unsettling, alien emotion he's feeling?

My first impression is that I identify with Don rather a lot and wonder if it will read more like a self-help manual than a novel.
