The past week's haul of library books include:

David Levinson's "Most of us are here against our will"
Paul Martin's "Counting Sheep"
Anne Karpf's "The Human Voice"
Daniel J. Levitin's "This is your brain on music"

It's an interesting mix, and I'm learning strange things now, like dolphins are capable of unihemispheric sleep (i.e. one hemisphere sleeps while the other is awake to help the dolphin surface and breathe).
