We are excited to announce that ‘Uncommon Measure’ by Natalie Hodges is the featured title for #BigLibraryRead! Big Library Read is a digital book club connecting readers to the same ebook & audiobook at the same time – no waitlists, no holds – via the Libby App. Borrow 'Uncommon Measure' from now until May 29, 2025 on the Libby App. 📚 About the Book: How does time shape consciousness and consciousness, time? Do we live in time, or does time live in us? And how does music, with its patterns of rhythm and harmony, inform our experience of time? 'Uncommon Measure' explores these questions from the perspective of a young Korean American who dedicated herself to perfecting her art until performance anxiety forced her to give up the dream of becoming a concert solo violinist. Anchoring her story in illuminating research in neuroscience and quantum physics, Hodges traces her own passage through difficult family dynamics, prejudice, and enormous personal expectations to come to terms with the meaning of a life reimagined—one still shaped by classical music but moving toward the freedom of improvisation.
