What I'm Reading Part I

I am reading many, many books right now. More than I can really read productively, but here's the list:

Musicophilia

Churched

1984

Blue Like Jazz

Through Painted Deserts


So, if you don't want spoilers, don't read these posts. :)

Musicophilia is a book that I got for Christmas this past year. I've been reading it on and off, and although it's not light reading it's very interesting, and matches together my loves for music and psychology quite well. It talks about cases of people who have had brain injuries and then show a strange ability or interest in music. Also, it talks about what causes songs to come to our minds, how we hear music, how some people can hear entire symphonies in their heads while others can only hear melodies. If you're looking for an intense look into the affect music has on our minds, check out Musicophilia.
