I will freely admit that I suffer from a terrible disease called blogdearth:  the inability to write frequent blog entries.  Is there a cure?  Who knows.

Promises to be more regular sound so empty…  In any case, this is record that I finished “This is your Brain on Music” by Daniel Levitin.  Such an excellent book excepts for the (relatively infrequent, but greatly annoying) parts where the author seems unable to stop from telling a story about his illustrious career, or to make it clear exactly how inferior other scientists are because they have developed music theory to “separate” the common man from music.  This happens mostly in the early chapters and later on he seems to get back on the rails a little.  It really spoiled the whole of the book for me though.

Having said that,  it is well-written, contains fascinating information and I enjoyed a lot of the book tremendously.  I probably won’t want to read it again, but it was good while it lasted.
