The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
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. Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife.
