Daniel J. Levitin, 2008, 354 pages

Could music unlock the mystery of who we are and how we think?

An unprecedented blend of science and art, Daniel Levitin’s bestselling debut, This Is Your Brain on Music, changed the way we understand how music gets in our heads. Now, in what is being called a tour de force by leading scientists, he presents his audacious theory of ‘six songs,’ the key to how music shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history.

Preserving the emotional heritage of our lives and of our species, music from its very beginning, was allied to dance, as the structure...

I stared in horror at what was in Blake’s computer I didn’t see this coming. What have I done? I felt like I was going to throw up. I can’t believe what I just gave him I am so stupid! I sighed me beating myself up is not going to change anything. All I can do now is find my brother find out what is going on and stop Blake before it is to late. What are you waiting for it is time to come up with a plan to escape this nut house.

Michael Talbot has woven a tale of the vampire unlike any you have read. He places them historically in the development of the human race, identifying them as artists, popes, collectors and inventors. He depicts them as the curators of all things important to human kind. It is the way they obtain those things worth protecting that is the meat of his book, The Delicate Dependency.

12 year old Percy Jackson is just another normal kid...or so he thought. When he realizes he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon, the god of water, the battle really begins for his life, his friends, and the gods....

This is an AWESOME series. If you are a read-aholic (like me).....no further questions, this is the series for you. It's funny, thrilling, and so AMAZINGLY AWESOME I want to scream.

If you don't already know, they also just made the first book of this series (Percy Jackson & the Olypians: The Lightning Thief) into a movie. So check that out as well.

I am an upcoming Manga lover and these r the three books out of the 5 series i read that were the most interesting:::

1) Pet Shop Of Horrors ~ A mysterious pet shop owner named Count D owns a shop in Chinatown that sells "dreams" but if u don't fallow the rules, it might kill u...or worse.

2) The Dreaming ~ Two twin sisters go to a privite school with a past of girls going missing in the bushes around the school. So they decide to solve it.

3) Princess Ai ~ A princess ends up in Tokyo and becomes a star, and meets the love of her life. But will that stop her enemies from coming back to kill her?

These r three great series of Manga, I hope u read and enjoy.

Tantalize (Cynthia Leitich Smith) was an awsome book. I really enjoyed it. It had me guessing what was going to happen until the very end!

Here is a piece about the book:

Quincie Morris has never felt more alone. Her hybrid werewolf first love threatens to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. And just as she and her uncle are about to unveil Austin's red-hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform the new hire, Henry Johnson, into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Will he be able to to wow the crowd in fake fangs, a cheap cape, and red contact lenses? Or is there more to his earnest fresh face than meets the eye?

As human and preternatural forces clash a deadly love triangle forms and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who's playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything?

Watch it and comment if you like it or not.
Also, I highly recommend to read the Hunger Games trilogy.

The genres of the film/ books is action.

Set in the near future, a girl called Katniss Everdeen volunteered to enter the Hunger Games, a game which is run by the government.
24 'tributes' will enter the arena and fight to the death until one person is remaining, who will be the winner.

Read Katniss' fights to stay alive as she battles the other 24 tributes to win her place as the winner.


Watch out for The Hunger Games, everyone will be talking about it within the following year.
Soren is born in the forest of Tyto,a tranquil kingdom where the Barn Owls dwell. But evil lurks in the owl world,evil that threatens to shatter Tyto's peace and change the course of Soren's life forever.
Soren is captured and taken to a dark and forbidding canyon. It's called an orphanage,but Soren believes it's something far worse. He and his friend Gylfie know that the only way out is up. To escape,they will need to something they have never done before-fly.

"I still get nightmares," begins Johnny Truant, editor of House of Leaves ("House," by the way, always colored in blue). He goes on to explain how he stumbled upon the fateful document that would consume him. How Zampanò, an old and eccentric shut-in had left his critique of the Navidson Record scribbled on loose-leaf papers, book covers, and the backs of envelopes and even stamps scattered across his room. Johnny diligently collected all of the papers and organized them into the comprehensive thesis it was meant to be. It is an elaborate and detailed explanation of a documentary that, Johnny...
