Graeme Simsion, The Rosie ProjectRead about another entry on the list.
Genetics professor Don Tillman, who is unaware that he has (what appears to be) Asperger’s Syndrome, is fastidious, highly scheduled, efficient, brilliant, socially awkward—and in search of a wife. As he embarks on what he calls the Wife Project, using his self-devised 16-page scientific survey to which he believes there is only one right answer per question, he meets free-spirited Rosie, his polar opposite, who is on her own quest to find her biological father. The Rosie Project is an entertaining book, endearing and funny.
The Rosie Project is among Ceri Radford's ten of the finest literary romances ever told, Mark Skinner's twenty great contemporary love stories, McKenzie Jean-Philippe's twenty greatest ever romance novels, Martha Greengrass's ten books for fans of Gail Honeyman's debut novel Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Jemma Forte's top ten books about love, and Bill Gates's nine favorite books.
