This was a required reading for my Listening to Classical Music class and it may be one of the best required reading texts that I have had to read this semester. In Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain, Oliver Sacks discusses music's many affects on the brain.
The only thing in this book that disappointed me was his lack of discussion on tinnitus, but his beautiful weaving prose makes up for this short coming by a tenfold.
I give this book 8 out of 10. It truly is fantastic and extremely interesting.
