Born on a Blue Day

Since I find so many good books on (and off) LJ, I thought I'd start blogging my reading to share.

First book of 2007 is Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tamment. It's the autobiography of a young man with Aspberger's syndrome and synthasia (seeing numbers etc as shapes and colors). So far it is interesting.

I *JUST* saw that book on a shelving cart here. I have been on a reading tear about synthasia. It is fascinating!

One of my husband's favorite composers had something similar, but sounds had different colors and shapes. Scriabin - he even invented a machine to try and simulate the experience for others.
