Lisa, Btw, Collins and Renee Flemings, brilliant met star, forged efforts to pen a fascinating book on the power of music to help w/ brain plasticity and healing. It was a heavy tome, and I had so many books in my stack; so I ret’d it to the library. But I thought their collaboration was intriguing. You love music, so maybe you’ll tackle it.

I greatly respect him. Sadly, he’s been demonized, which is wrongheaded and terribly sad. He’s a fine Christian and brilliant scientist (think genome project). What would we do without bibliophiles, Lisa? What would *authors* do?!

I could tell that By Any Other Name had to have been a heavily researched book! I learned a lot about Shakespeare along the way that I didn’t know earlier. 🙂 Glad you liked the book too. I’ve yet to read a Jodi Picoult book that I haven’t enjoyed at some level anyway.
