seemingly a very interesting book by the author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat (yes that one :) )

ohh I'm so envious of all these gifted people *sigh*

I couldn't quite get into it unfortunately but I guess I just wasn't in the mood but would like to try it again. My reading has just picked up again so I may get round to it. Glad you enjoyed it Abs, may just give it another whirl! :)

There's a NOVA special based on this book called Musical Minds.

The original post is really really old (almost 2 years). I just brought it up to say that there was a NOVA special.
