Right now I am reading 'This is your Brain on Music'. It is a book on how we experience music, and the effects that it has on us. I have had a few ideas for creative musical projects, and am hoping that this book will help me flesh them out.

I read 'The Tipping Point' about a year ago, and thought it was very interesting. It gave me a few ideas on how to make a positive change in society, which I might impliment some day. I also read 'Bl!nk' by the same author, which was an attempt to explain how instinct and intuition can sometimes be right. There was another book that I came across, Th!nk, which was a (poorly done, IMHO) attempt to refute 'Bl!nk'. The author was attempting to explain critical thinking, yet he couldn't let go of his (rightist) ideology, so for the most part, it sounded like a right-wing political diatribe.
