I can't even imagine what that must be like.<BR/><BR/>I would be interested in reading a study of us musical oddities-- how is it that we have an innate musicality that most people lack? was it enhanced by listening to a lot of musical theatre before I culd even speak or was I born with it? and why is there always a stubborn song playing in my head no matter what I'm doing? it's like a jukebox I can't shut off!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15507444.post-41310995955191406922008-03-12T16:17:00.000+01:002008-03-12T16:17:00.000+01:00Oh I wish it was so, too.

I wish it was so. <BR/><BR/>There's another book touching the same subject you might be interested in - Born on a Blue Day - by Daniel Tammet. They made a documentary about him a while back too. Daniel too sees numbers as shapes and colours but is affected by Asperger's but leads a normal everyday life.<BR/><BR/>I'm reading my second Oliver Sacks book now - Awakenings - and 'An Anthropologist on Mars' is waiting in the bookshelf.<BR/><BR/>I might get amazon to ship Musicophilia to meAstridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889077261997269904noreply@blogger.com
