it's been around for a long time, in fact it was probably published when I was studying neurology at uni. . . it is interesting (rather than fascinating) and I'm glad I finally picked it up - he's written another one more recently, which I may have to read as wellwhat's on your reading list at the moment?

I tried his Musicophilia, but found it too diffuse and anecdotal for me, and I couldn't find a strong enough thread to bind it together into a coherent thesis. My fault I expect for not trying hard enough. J. was more assiduous than I was.
Reading list just now: Romantic moderns: English Writers, Artists and the Imagination from Virginia Woolf to John Piper. The jury's out...
Ohgosh...the only thing I'm reading at present is data which supports what I'm writing about.
Can I just say that I'm not a fan of data and reports and techical writing and having a huge project rest on my ability to articulate myself in black and white?!

I'd rather read Virginia Woolf.
Funny you should ask. I brought with me a couple of books I bought at the Black Cat Coffee Shop/Used Book Store last time I was here, which would have been last September when I took a motorcycle journey.
Things have been so crazy at home that I never picked up the book at all, (even though it was resting on my night stand for 4 months).
Now, in a more relaxed state of mind, I started reading. It is called Traveler's Tales of the American Southwest and features writings by many authors. The more well known of them would be Edward Abbey and Tony Hillerman, (a Google search would bring them right up if you are not familiar)
Anyway, I am reading, and that is the important part for me. Thanks for asking.
Peace
my bedside table has a HUGE pile of books. . .
which I ought to read, before aquiring new books that take my fancy, I suppose
I'm a sucker for a good book tho, and seem to be reading a lot at the moment. . .

and, Mel, say whatever you'd like about reports - YUK, as far as I'm concerned. . . bubbles?

Bit late now but after enjoying 'Wolf Hall' so much I moved on to 'a Place of Greater Safety'. thus for most of our holiday, whenever it got too cold I turned to the French Revolution and learned a lot about people who had previously been completely mysterious to me. (Danton, Desmoulins, Robespierre and Marat f'rinstance)
