Do you want to touch my comb-over?

In the next installment of Erik's Book Club is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, by Mark Haddon. It is a novel written from the first-person perspective of an adolescent afflicted with autism. It is written in the form of a mystery, and provides what I hope are accurate insights into the autistic mind.

It really isn't as thought-provoking as it is interesting. Very interesting. No seriously, I've had this book for one day and I'm already 150 pages into it. I highly suggest it.

Also, I was watching MTV's Made today, and was reminded of my own middle-schoolery. A comb-over, braces, and sweater-vests made up my daily appearance. I also hung out with the Magic the Gathering crowd and carried around programming books every once in awhile. Alas, I was, in mentality and acutality, a nerd. Now I'm only one mentally. Behold the modern Erik Axdahl:



Rawr. Muy loco en mis pantalones.
