On topic: 'How Music Works' by David Byrne. Very interesting.

This looks very promising; I can't wait to read it.

One of the most interesting non-fiction books I've read in a while. Made me want to pick up the guitar and start a band once again.

OT: Just finishing a book of essays by Ford Madox Ford. Interesting, but not mindblowing.

I'm currently reading The Fault In Our Stars and Paper Towns by John Green. Although his target audience are teenagers, even adults might enjoy his books. I highly recommend these books.

A Cleryman's Daughter - George Orwell.
Old George's fiction really is worth investigating.
He writes with passion and a wry comic flair.

The Bhagavad Gita, specifically the version annotated and translated by Eknath Easwaran

Robert J. Sawyer's latest novel "Quantum Night". It's fiction, but draws on real science (he lists his references in the back), exploring the relationship between quantum physics and psychopathy. I'm finding it quite fascinating considering I have a background in neuroscience and worked with one of the world's leading experts on psychopathy, Dr. Robert Hare (whom Sawyer frequently cites in the novel).

Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll by Zoe Cormier

I heard Zoe do a presentation at the V&A Museum (in London) a few days ago as part of the build-up to the soon to open exhibition called 'Revolution' ... great talk, even better book.

This is one of the books on my list to read. Glad to hear it's a good one.

I'm reading "barefoot in Babylon" by Bob spitz (also author of a Beatles biography), which is about the creation of Woodstock. Really good book and a fine insight into the crazy process.
