Below Neutral - Nathan Coppedge - Bog

A straight man's journey into selfhood. Through a series of alternatingly typical and atypical experiences, Nathan Coppedge, an almost average kid surrounded by geniuses, strives to uncover that grain of intelligence which will send him from rank ignorance to intellectual stardom. Set mostly in New Haven, Connecticut, Venezuela, and proximate to Poughkeepsie, New York, we trace Nathan's life through all it's embarrassing viscissitudes as he uncovers what ultimately is---Amazing Genius. This book could be used to compare and contrast with your own situation, and also to learn some things that someone might learn going down what might be an atypical and at the same time highly typical path.
