just finished reading 'The Emperor of Scent'. I first picked it up at Borders and became completely engrossed. Thrilled when i found it at the library. LOVEDLOVED the portions which explored in depth the mystery of scent with details and descriptions of various mixtures and historic perfumes, but grew very impatient with the drawn out scientific community politics and personality battles surrounding the theory (which unfortunately was given priority focus in the ...book- just not interesting to me). I'd like to take out my favorite pages and make a smaller pamphlet on scent and memory.

stopped at the library after work, and sat there to finish reading that book so I could finally return it and leave with another bag full of books, mags and films. A new book by Diane Ackerman, and one on The Age of Empathy...more on perfume/scent, foreign films. libraries=endorphin rush for me. mmmm mmm yeah♥
