  1. Wow! I have been listening to the audio books of that 2nd and 3rd book you are currently reading. How’s your reading? The first time i was listening to them (especially the 3rd one), i was completely blown away, and there’s truth on what they’re saying. I can’t share yet my blog this time, since most of it are still draft. I hope i’ll keep in touch with you soon.

    • My reading is going well – I love the deep, philosophical, and spiritual books, but most are so heavy that I need to read them in small doses and balance them out with the lighter reads and fiction. The insight and wisdom presented in the books is simply phenomenal. I look forward to hearing what you think about them at some point down the line. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I’m currently reading another book by Daniel J. Levitin called, “The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature.” It attempts to focus on the historical and antholopological significance of music in an unbiased manner (It tries to avoid ethnocentrism.). You might want to check it out sometime.
