Books

  • Tye, Tense Bees and Shell-Shocked Crabs: Pretty good. I probably disagree with it in >100 places, but that’s to be expected for any book-length treatment on something as difficult to study as consciousness.
  • Haffner, Defying Hitler: Good. I wish it had been continued past 1933.
  • Pistorius, Ghost Boy: Scary but inspiring.

Music

Music I most enjoyed discovering this month:

  • Nico Muhly, A Good Understanding (2010)
  • Simeon ten Holt, Canto Ostinato Revisited (2015 recording)
  • Dafnis Prieto, Taking the Soul for a Walk (2008), Absolute Quintet (2006)
  • The Dear Hunter, Act V: Hymns with the Devil in the Confessional (2016)
  • Hannah Epperson, Upsweep (2016)
