I encourage you to keep at it a bit more. Lots of folks are put off by the initial "more rational than thou" style of the main character, but what's not immediately apparent is that the book is partially a critique of this kind of thinking What's more, since this is a well written story, there are good reasons why the character is so off-putting (to some) at the start. It is definitely NOT a case of the author espousing some limited view of elite rationalists as unemotional arrogant know-it-alls. All the main characters do reveal rich emotional lives as the story progresses. It's well worth the read. (I've read every book discussed in this thread, and HPMoR is my definite favorite.)
