I wish you could hear the song i'm listening to as i write this... explores the classic tale of adolescent rebellion but it is more complex. How do young people deal with the apparent universal desire for attention and fame? The social media today have made the fulfillment of this desire accessible to more people. But this work explores this issue very personally and deeply. When the young narrator asks her grandmother why is everyone in their family so eager to perform as a musician, the grandmother challenges her by stating “ Who in this world doesn' t want to be famous? Who would shy away from attention, notoriety? Who would want to hide their talent?” The narrator- a talented singer who prefers to sing only for her own enjoyment - decides she would.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • David Byrne’s incisive and enthusiastic look at the musical art form, from its very inceptions to the influences that shape it, whether acoustical, economic, social, or technological—now updated with a new chapter on digital curation. “How Music Works is a buoyant hybrid of social history, anthropological survey, autobiography, personal philosophy, and business manual”—The Boston Globe Utilizing his incomparable career and inspired collaborations with Talking Heads, Brian Eno, and many others, David Byrne taps deeply into his lifetime of knowledge to explore the panoptic elements of music, how it shapes the human experience, and reveals the impetus behind how we create, consume, distribute, and enjoy the songs, symphonies, and rhythms that provide the backbeat of life. Byrne’s magnum opus uncovers thrilling realizations about the redemptive liberation that music brings us all.

Book Description
What goes on in human beings when they make or listen to music? What is it about music, what gives it such peculiar power over us, power delectable and beneficent for the most part, but also capable of uncontrollable and sometimes destructive force? Music has no concepts, it lacks images; it has no power of representation, it has no relation to the world. And yet it is evident in all of us–we tap our feet, we keep time, hum, sing, conduct music, mirror the melodic contours and feelings of what we hear in our movements and expressions. In this book, Oliver Sacks explores the power music wields over us–a power that sometimes we control and at other times don’t. He explores, in his inimitable fashion, how it can provide access to otherwise unreachable emotional states, how it can revivify neurological avenues that have been frozen, evoke memories of earlier, lost events or states or bring those with neurological disorders back to a time when the world was much richer. This is a book that explores, like no other, the myriad dimensions of our experience of and with music.

Book Description
Can there be a third way? There exists a set of myths and prophesies known as the Wolf's Codex — the Okami Kōdekkusu, probably the only written history of the shifter species. It comes from the before times, it's said. Lost for millennia, maybe more, most people dismiss it as a myth itself. But some things are known. In an oral culture like the shifters, stories have been passed down from storyteller to storyteller. The Codex is supposed to have predicted a third way to come for shifters. First way — Shifter warlords led troops of shifters into battle for land and resources. Women of power were forced to serve, channeling their power at the warlord's command. Second way —In current times, power resides with the Alpha, and a Council of Alphas mediates disputes without warfare, making the top Alphas very powerful indeed with no one to check their abuses. And the third way. No one knows what is meant by that — neither those who fear it and are willing to destroy the Hat Island pack to stop it, nor those who want to see it come. But they all seem to think Abby Stafford might be the one to lead them there. The Okami Kōdekkusu may have some answers. And now, one man might know where it is. The race is on.
