I'd be interested, too.
I liked the book very much. Lots of ideas to think
about and good for learning. It includes some quite
amusing situations, some I've experienced, and the
methods the authors/expert used to work through them.
Those methods are the best part of the book, in my
opinion.

BTW. Something happened to the reviews on Amazon.
I don't know if its a bug or whatever, but it quite
funny. :-)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/1590593871
All the reviews are about "JoelonSoftware.com"
whatever that is about. If you *need to know* here are
recent quotes from that site:
"Almost everyone who has worked with programmers or
mathematicians knows someone with at least a light
form of Asperger's Syndrome: the well-recognized
symptoms include an inability to interpret peoples'
emotions from their facial expressions, incredibly
logical thought processes that make math easy but
human relations darn near impossible, and fear of
physical contact with other people."
and
"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is
quite possibly the best book I've read this year. It
purports to be a novel written by Christopher Boone, a
fifteen year old boy who suffers from Asperger's, and
it hits the mark spot on. Christopher finds a
neighbor's dog dead with a pitchfork stuck in it:
I decided that the dog was probably killed with the
fork because I could not see any other wounds in the
dog and I do not think you would stick a garden fork
into a dog after it had died for some other reason,
like cancer for example, or a road accident. But I
could not be certain about this."
