Proust was a Neuroscientist

Actually about Proust as well as Virginia Woolf, Walt Whitman, George Eliot, Paul Cezanne, Igor Stravinsky, Gertrude Stein and Auguste Escoffier and how all of these artists of word, paint, and music anticipated the discoveries of neuroscience. Engaging, witty, clearly written, and every page a wealth of new fascinating tidbits of knowledge; this book would be the ideal text for any classroom of humanists trying to grasp the appeal of science and science students overlooking the contributions of the arts to the world of science. Ultimately, an appeal for a closer association and understanding between art and science.

On Truth by Harry Frankfurt

Pros:

1. Shiny gold cover.
2. It's small. 4 1/8 inches wide by 6 1/4 inches tall.
3. It's short. A mere 101 pages with an average column width of 2 1/2 inches.

I stopped at page 49. Why? Three reasons:

1. The first two sentences on page 49 contain: two i.e.(s) , the word truth in quotes, another word in italics, three dashes and then a quoted word again this time within a parentheses.
2. No pictures.
3. I'm a cretin.
