I have This is Your Brain on Music on my secondary list. I will be interested to see what you think of it.

I also have This Is Your Brain on Music in my tbr pile--I'll watch for your review to see if I should move it to my Because I Want to to category. I'll also be looking to see if Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke should go into my fantasy category.

You have a lot of my favorite books on your lists--the following I consider 5 star reads!:

1776 by David McCullough
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

You should have a great year!

Alright starting up on Mort today.

Ok, so I've finished The Princess Bride and it was wonderful! I'll come up with some sort of review other than wonderful soon hopefully.

I loved The Princess Bride. Did your edition have the "sequel" chapter at the end? Buttercup's Baby?

Yes, it did have Buttercup's Baby at the end. I enjoyed it as well. I cried reading about Fezzik.
