The Confusion (Baroque Cycle 2)
Neal Stephenson This is taking me ages to get through, not because it's not another stormingly brilliant read by Mr. Stephenson, more like I'm either working or out partying these days in NYC. Absolute yay, but also damn, cos I really could use an extra Sunday in the week to simply lay down on the grass and read...
This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession
Daniel J. Levitin Totally compelling study on why music has such a powerful effect on the brain. This was my subway read (and always in my back pocket) for a solid week. Loved it.
Quicksilver: The Baroque Cycle (Baroque Cycle 1)
Neal Stephenson Uhoh, I've begun to read it, the story which will probably tire my eyes and brain of reading. Nevertheless I simply must read it and so far I have NOT been disappointed - this is incredible.
