This is your brain on music. The world in six songs. I'm with the band : confessions of a groupie.

I was in a music mode when I went on my last library trip.

I recently read " This is your brain on music" I highly recommend.

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.�

this is actually a very scientifically sound publication, devoid of all the new age physics bullshit. it is written by a quantum physicist and historian/philosopher of science.

Jonathan Tropper - The book of Joe

quote:

Joe Goffman escaped oppressive Bush Falls, Connecticut, as soon as he could. But he could never get his hometown out of his mind, inspiring him to write a novel savaging everything and everyone there. When the novel became a huge bestseller, and an even more popular movie, he knew he'd never be able to set foot in Bush Falls again. Now, fifteen years later, he has no choice. Joe's father is gravely ill, so the town's most famous pariah must return. Joe is finally ready to face his past, and with the help of some old friends, he may actually learn something . . . if he manages to survive the homecoming.

and



great collection of essays and interviews that analyze the connections between design and the society we live in

The book drags along at certain places but just tough it out. It's well worth finishing.

The fact he is so naive and constantly gets used by people really gets quite irritating by the latter parts of the book. You really just want to punch him in the face by the end. Gotta love a book that inspires such emotion (even if it's a negative one).

But he really seems like a breath of fresh air in a society full of deceit, lies and betrayal. Makes me wish I knew someone like that.
