My husband and I are addicted to collecting books of all kinds. I love
reading old books written at the turn of the century. These books
usually have a wonderful, involved story line. Currently I am reading
"Lost Ecstasy" by Mary Roberts Reinhardt written in 1927. It's a
wonderful read.

I just finished reading "Judge & Jury" by James Patterson and Andrew
Gross. It's a fast-paced thriller about the trial and escape of a
notorious mobster known as the "Electrician." The story focuses on the
FBI agent in charge of the case and a juror who becomes personally
involved. Very engrossing! I didn't want to stop reading. And the ending
will surprise you.

Peg, I was the one who recommended Twisted Creek. I am so pleased you
liked the book. I read your review at amazon.com and it was excellent.
See it is not that hard to write a review and it is so much fun to
spread the enjoyment of a good book with other people!
I just read This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human
Obsession, by Daniel J. Levitin.
My brother has played the sax since junior high school. His son is now
totally enthralled by music and is also an accomplished saxophonist. In
many ways their lives revolve around music. Their enthusiasm and
appreciation for music mirrors my own love of books. I suppose this is
why my interest was sparked by a book entitled This is Your Brain on
Music.
The author worked in the music industry as a session musician, sound
engineer and record producer, and now is a neuroscientist. In the
introduction the author states, "Music is unusual among all human
activities for both its ubiquity and its antiquity." He reminds us that
music is involved in many human activities, from mother's rocking babies
to sleep, notable ceremonies such as graduations and weddings, prayer,
men marching off to war, and funerals. He discusses music theory in
layman's terms. He talks about the effects of babies hearing music
while still in the womb, the reasons why we are so emotionally attached
to the music we grew up with, and how the ears and the brain work
together to produce the sounds we call music. He even answers the
age-old question: If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one
there to hear it, does it make a sound? You will find his answer to
that question in chapter 1. His discourse is liberally sprinkled with
examples from all genres of music. His love of music is evident
throughout, and you will find yourself reaching for your MP3 player to
listen to a favorite song as his enthusiasm sparks your own musical
memories. He writes in a very down-to-earth manner which I found easy
to comprehend as a non-musician. I even learned an interesting piece of
trivia I had not known before, which is the fact that a decibel is named
for Alexander Graham Bell.
I find neurology and how the brain works to be fascinating. There was a
lot of that type of discussion in the book. One reviewer, who was not
especially fond of this book, said it was one-third music theory,
one-third neuroscience, and one-third rocumentary. I think that may be
fairly accurate, but, unlike that reviewer, I did enjoy the book.
On the subject of music, there is an interesting article called Pearls
Before Breakfast which was published in the Washington Post in 2007.
The article is quite long, but I thought people interested in this book
might enjoy reading the article at:
