The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a story about love, life and lobsters...
Meet Don Tillman.
Don is getting married.
He just doesn't know who to yet.
But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman.
One thing he already knows, though, is that it's not Rosie.
Absolutely, completely, definitely not.
Telling the story of Rosie and Don, Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is an international phenomenon, sold in over thirty countries - and counting.
Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is, Don has rather high standards and doesn't really do flexible so, despite lots of takers - he looks like Gregory Peck - he's not having much success in identifying The One.
When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality. However, Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father.
Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...
Like The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a truly distinctive debut. With the charm of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the romance of David Nicholls' One Day, it's both funny and endearing - and is set to become the feel-good novel of 2013...
Graeme Simsion is a full-time writer. Previously an IT consultant and educator, he wrote his first book in 1994 (the standard reference on data modelling, now entering its fourth edition), and is married to Anne, a professor of psychiatry who writes erotic fiction. They have two children.
阿斯伯格综合征让人更有计划性,精力更集中,拥有创造性思维和超然的理性 这感觉就好像我在阳台晚餐之后俯瞰城市的一瞬,又好像罗茜给我写下电话号码的一瞬。另外一个世界,另外一种生活,近在咫尺,却又难以达到。 科学研究反复证明,饮酒对健康造成的风险要远远超出其可能带...
评分2012年有朵小花对我说过这句说:“你知不知道,遇见一个合适的人有多难?”当时狮子脾气的我听完,不以为然,觉得遇见一个合适的人,怎么就会那么难?那时,我满腔热血都以为每天遇见的人那么多,总会遇见几个合适的人儿啊。人生,还长着呢。 可是,现在是2016年。我花了4年...
评分在上个世纪,高等教育不普及,大学教授还是小众的、神秘的群体,他们也被认为是死板的、道德压力沉重的群体,只会做死板的学问,在道德压力和生活死板的折磨中度日,反映这一群体的代表是纳博科夫,《洛丽塔》中的那个傻逼,虽然睡了12岁的小萝莉,但是他的心智和心计甚至不如...
评分当谢耳朵爱上罗茜 文 by 静流 看到唐的每日晚餐按部就班的安排时,再结合他那理性到刻板的生活,唐的形象便慢慢变成了谢耳朵的样子,那个瘦高的科学怪人,唐和谢耳朵一样对日常生活无能,像谢耳朵一样不知如何与他人相处,就像个冷冰冰的机器,他们的存在只是科学、理性的...
评分At first, I thought Don was like a mixture of Sheldon and Leonard. He divided every part of his life with clockwork precision, such as to what to eat and when to do the excercises. He lacked the social ability to make friends with others, which led to the f...
一个geek因为爱而变回一个凡人其实还是个悲伤的故事
评分科学怪才呕心沥血搞了一个个project寻找爱情的故事。另外,该主人公和柳比歇夫一样有精确的时间观念,和谢耳朵一样有自己的专属座位。可见,极客自有相通之处。
评分读完了,不愧是 IT 同仁写的小说,充满了共鸣。作者的文笔相当有趣(虽然这种见面说 greetings, 对说 correct,错说 error 的人在现实中肯定是相当讨人厌的)但还是在每一章都道出了不少真谛(又可以称为学术帝的吐槽)。后在亚马逊买了精装版,隔天就到。说好的四到六周发货呢!
评分Great story. Shitty ending.
评分funny 看过一笑 通俗大结局 呵呵呵
