just today bought Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment as well as Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray to hopefully start and finish next week. |
lol both among the 10 I picked up from a bargain bin about a month ago
can we please discuss Wilde when you're done so that I can continue my fantasies of you as a burly sexual prodigy in the world of academia? |

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. |

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