FlowersForAlgernon[1].jpgRead this when I was 6, truly a sad story about autists.

Flowers for Algernon is a science fiction short story and subsequent novel written by Daniel Keyes. The short story, written in 1958 and first published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1960. The novel was published in 1966 and was joint winner of that year's Nebula Award for Best Novel (with Babel-17), Story is about a laboratory mouse who has undergone surgery to increase his intelligence by artificial means. The story is told by a series of progress reports written by Charlie Gordon, the first human test subject for the surgery, and it touches upon many different ethical and moral themes such as the treatment of the mentally disabled.

Maybe if kimmo was the janitor, because algernon is a rat.

@previous (G)
Kimmo could take on the role of the lab rat. Although who would replace Charlie Gordon?

I had to read it in 8th grade, so that seems plausible.

You seem to have confused Omen with syntax. Omen was in kindergarten when America was invented.

Well... that works.

It was okay, anything that wins both a hugo and a nebula is usually at least worth a read.

I should probably read it again.
