I think you may have us confused.

I read this one not too long ago. It's like This Is Your Brain On Music (posted by someone else) but better:



All the Oliver Sacks books I've read have been fascinating.

Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

Tough book to read, but I've gotten a good ways in. Recently I haven't had much time to read though.

Definitely recommend if you are patient enough to try and understand it.

Aragon - Aurélien

The first sentence of the book is a classic of the French littérature: "La première fois qu'Aurélien vit Bérénice, il la trouva franchement laide", which can be translated by: "the first time Aurélien saw Bérénice, he found her really ugly".

I posted that. I'm highly interested in this book. Could you tell us why the book is better?

More scientific info + lots of weird / cool examples of different things that can happen to the brain to alter musical abilities and perceptions.

Awesome thriller!!

Yeah, Lebez used to play Football (I believe?) and is far more well-read and well-spoken than I am.

Snu snu!
