Looking for other book lovers? A good story is even better when you've got friends to share it with.
With all the great books about music that have come out recently, I thought it would be a good idea to come together and read and discuss them with other people. We might also explore listening to the music that's covered in the books, and sharing our opinions on it.
Some of the books I'd like to cover are "The Rest is Noise," by Alex Ross, and "This Is Your Brain on Music," by Daniel J. Levitin, "Musicophilia," by Oliver Sacks, and "The World in Six Songs," also by Levitin.
If you know of any other books about music that you'd like to read and discuss, please let us know about them and if possible, bring a copy to the meeting.

We can discuss the last book read, "The Piano Shop on the Left Bank" by Thad Carhart, if you haven't discussed it before.

New Greeting for“Hi Dorotea, nice to see you joined our book club! I hope you can make it to our next meetup, which I will be posting shortly. The book we're reading is "The Piano Shop on the Left Bank" by Thad Carhart. Even if you don't read the book, please join us so we can get to know you. We love to sit around and gab about everything from music and the performing arts, the brain, what else we're reading, good movies, and our daily lives. So come out! Join us! I look forward to meeting you.”posted by Edie

“ It's an original idea to read books about music, It's an opportunity to learn and discuss what you've learned. ”
