Big Library Read: "Uncommon Measure"
2025-05-15 00:00 - 23:00 UTC | Adams Memorial Library, 1112 Ligonier Street, Latrobe, PA, 15650, United States
Description: With a library card you have access to thousands of books, both physically, throughout Westmoreland County, and digitally using Libby by OverDrive.
From May 15 to May 29, OverDrive is giving readers a chance to come together and share in their worldwide digital book club, Big Library Read, “Uncommon Measure” by Natalie Hodges. During this period the book will be available as both an ebook & audiobook with no waitlist or holds. You can even discuss the book with others at https://www.biglibraryread.com/ during its availability.
â€œUncommon Measureâ€ explores the intricate relationship between time, consciousness, and music through the lens of a young Korean American violinist. After performance anxiety derails her dream of becoming a concert soloist, Hodges embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Blending personal narrative with illuminating research in neuroscience and quantum physics, she reflects on family, prejudice, and the search for meaning. Through this genre-defying memoir, Hodges reimagines a life once defined by classical music, now moving toward the freedom of improvisation.
