This is Your Brain Music by Daniel J. Levitin is a great guide to how neuroscience and music go together but though avoid the sequel. Natasha's Dance: A Cultural History of Russia by Orlando Figes is a good non-academic introduction to Russia. The Reformation: A History by Diarmaid MacCulloch is incredibly dense and not the best-written but very thorough. I stalled about midway but I'm going to try to finish it later this summer. I feel like I should know more but I just had a final today so my brain is shorted out.
