What is the relationship between music and those with Williams syndrome, or Tourette’s? What happens when a formerly musical person is no longer able to relate to music? These are some of the questions addressed in Musicophilia. Oliver Sacks, author of “The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat”, writes in a style reminiscent of Norman Vincent Peale. The easy reading style masks some disturbing details. Hypochondriacs would do well to avoid this one!

Progress so far: 15 Days, 3 Books, 587 Pages.
