Oh, by the way, the book about riding an escalator is entitled The Mezzanine, in case anybody wanted to check that one out.

I too think Nick Hornby's charaters are quite aspie. I wonder if he himself is.
Does anyone else thnik Mike Gayle might be aspie, he, to me is quite similar in style to N Hornby.
I like them both as authours.

Agreed on Tolkien...

Howard Phillips Lovecraft also very strongly seems Aspie to me, from both what biographical information i have read about him and his obviously self-representing characters in most of his stories (particularly Charles Dexter Ward)...

very, very Aspie-ish Lovecraft quote (from his Wikipedia article): "In youth I scarcely did any letter-writing - thanking anybody for a present was so much of an ordeal that I would rather have written a two hundred fifty-line pastoral or a twenty-page treatise on the rings of Saturn." :lol: 8)

Umm...myself...I love the irony that I can't stand most poetry but sometimes write it.

Believe that IRL he has a young son dx'd autistic. Few years ago he wrote a book about/based on this, not sure if it's a novel or non-fiction. Someone else will likely know more & post after this.
