The frog who croaked blue.
This book is about a condition called synesthesia, where the person's brain is wired in a way that their sensations interact. Hearing music may cause them to see colors as well or visualize things, seeing something may cause them to smell it, hear it, feel it, taste it. I'm very interested in this these days. I'll let you know what I find after I read the book.
The man who mistook his wife for a hat.
This book discusses different unusual conditions and disorders that people have experienced. My favorite topic. If its unusual and has been documented as a "real" condition bring it my way.
The Prophet.
I was taking a creating happiness class and the professor recommended this book. I may have already read it. Not quite sure.
Oscar Wilde.
Anything Oscar tickles my fancy.
The Elegant Universe.
I am very interested in cosmology but I only found out that there is such a discipline or that my interests have a name a few days ago when I googled the question: where does the sky end?
This book serves to answer those very questions that regard the scientific study of the universe. I'm told it's a bit advanced so we'll see how far I can go.
The Physics of Sound.
I got this book from a professor of mine who was a prick.
I still have it. :) It covers anything you'd like to know about the science of music and how to compose music with an awareness of physics.
The Giving Tree.
I used to own this one as a kid.
The tree keeps on giving the boy of it's apples and branches for years until all that is left is a stub on the ground. And it offers the boy who now is an old man to sit on its stub. Woops, I gave away the ending.
Crime and Punishment.
I haven't read it all the way through but it reminds me of the way I think.
Missing Kissinger.
Poetic, morbid, funny style of writing. Startles the reader, weirds you out, leaves more questions unanswered than answered. Similar to life :)
IT.
I saw the movie when I was a kid and I'd like to read the book.
Stand By Me.
Same deal as the one above.
Astrology and Relationships. Pond
You get so much more than you bargained for with this one. Its great for developing ways to grow and relax.
So it goes one step further, instead of just telling you who you are and what your life is like it gives you tools.
This is your brain on music.
I was told to read this one as well. Got into a discussion with a friend of mine about what happens when I hear music and she said I should read this. We'll see how far I get...
I'm interested in adding some poetry to my list of things to read but don't know any.
Any good poetry anyone?
In Watermelon Sugar.
On The Road. Jack Kerouac
More books...
Irrational Man: A study in Existential philosophy. William Barrett.
I've been reading this book while traveling this week. It has a lot of insight into philosophy and the progression of art, music, ideas as cultural forms of existentialism.
Paul Klee.
My friend recently told me about him. Something about him collaborating music and movement into his art work.
I need to get that book from her.
Astrology and Relationships. Pond
I've read snippets of this book on Google books. It's amazing so far. Very inspiring and motivational, not so focused on just understanding astrology it takes it a step further to learning how to live in a healthier way through astrology. Awesome!
