A review by doctabird
Proust Was a Neuroscientist by Jonah Lehrer

2.0

I tried to like this book considering I'm studying neuroscience and I'm endlessly interested in the crossover between neuroscience and other disciplines (scientific or other). However, the book was so dry and I had difficulty getting through it. I enjoyed the chapter on food (August Escoffier) and the music chapter (Igor Stravinsky) held my attention, but I jumped around the other chapters and didn't quite finish all of them. I still like the concept behind the book, I just wish it was a bit more readable.
