23. Look Me in the Eye: My Life With Asperger's by John Elder Robison
This is the first memoir I've read, and I really enjoyed it. One of my friends continually shared anecdotes from the book, so when he told me the title, I picked it up at the bookstore. It's an eye-opening and completely ...

I read Curious Incident a few years ago and loved it. You should try Look Me in the Eye by John Elder Robison. It is a non-fiction book about life with Aspergers.

Look Me in the Eye is wonderful...Burroughs's brother is a much better writer. I wrote a short review at mckait in What Are You Reading Now? : What You're Reading the Week of 16 August 2008 (Aug 16, 2008, 8:59pm)
Detailmuse.. I want to read Look Me In The Eye eventually.
I am hoping to get a copy of The 19th Wife sometime. I am also anxious to read American Wife, it is on my wishlist at amazon :)
