I had forgotten about this thread. I finished the book a while back. I didn't really enjoy it. some interesting concepts, but really dry writing (not wry), and I guess I expected him to draw some conclusions or at least speculate a bit. he is a scientist, after all.

now I'm in the middle of This Is Your Brain On Music by Daniel Levitin, and I'm finding it somewhat boring, as well.

maybe it's just me, but these are topics I am really interested in, and I'm just not getting it from these books.
