'Musicophilia'

Oliver Sack's book "Musicophilia" is one of the most interesting books I've ever encountered when studying the relationship between Music and the human mind. Sacks gives a detailed as well as entertaining account of the different effects that music perception can have on our brain and behaviour. Really fascinating.
