Very few books can move me in a tremendous way just by reading the back cover of the slick paperback or hard covering that surrounds the text filled paper between them, yet this one did.

This is your brain on music
The science of a human obsession. by Daniel J. Levitin

I'm sure many of my watchers know I love reading as well as writing [hence my participation in NaNoWriMo] but I also love Music and Science, to other "Arts" that seem to be forgotten about.

Not by Mr. Levitin, not at all.

His book, This is your brain on music, is probably one of the most fascinating pieces of literature that is in both Science and Entertainment.

If you love Music and Science both as much as I do, I suggest you read this book. Its stunning and will make your gears turn in ways you never expected and appreciate a good set of headphones even more.

Speaking of headphones; if you love music. Invest in a good pair of headphones that aren't cheap 5$ Ipod earbuds, you're killing the sound of the music as well as your ears.
