Excellent contemporary novel about a guinea pig for a "God Helmet" type of scientific experiment seeking to find where religious experience happens in the brain. (Much more to it than this summary conveys).

People - we seem to have lost the plot!
As you know, the originator of the thread posted quote:
Post the title and author of a book which has some sort of connection with the previous one. The connection can be, for example, a major word in common in the titles (by 'major word' I mean not "and", "of", "the", "a", etc.), another book about the same subject, a sequel or prequel to the previous book, or anything, including something quirky and not obvious, though in that case, explain the link. NOT allowed is another book by the same author, unless there's another link as well, because otherwise we could just run through all the books by one well-known author, and then move on to the next, which would be boring and unimaginative.
An example of how the game might proceed would be:
Strange Days Indeed - Francis Wheen
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
Jonathan Wild - Henry Fielding
Mary Barton - Elizabeth Gaskell (Link - both titles are personal names)
Elizabeth Gaskell and the English Provincial Novel - W.A.Craik
etc.
Shall we try to get back to that - a LINK between each post?
Just a thought. ![[Axe murder]](graemlins/lovedrops.gif)
