Happy Thanksgiving!
In this series I note what I am reading and people comment with what they're reading. Sometimes, on Sundays, I post a special edition on a particular genre or topic.

Struck by Genius by Jason Padgett. Jason was an ordinary guy; he held blue collar jobs, liked to hang out in clubs and sang karaoke. He wasn't great at school and certainly not at math. Then he got mugged and beaten up, got a brain injury and became a mathematical wizard.
