i just thought of an experiment that i have subliminally begun a few weeks ago. for now lets call it a synthesis of the left and right brain through studying fiction and non-fiction tests. i have been studying for the LEED NC accreditation for the past month or so, and a few weeks ago i started reading this non-fiction book about Leonardo da Vinci. Fritjof Capra's book about the great renaissance master focuses on the theories and studies that Leonardo explored rather than the obvious artistic masterpieces that we all know very much about.. more about that later. after i got halfway through the non-fiction piece and my LEED study book i made the decision in conjunction with a Christmas present, that it was finally about time to pick up the harry potter series. i received a box set of the first six harry potter books for Christmas, so i decided to see what all the hype was about.
now for some insane reason i have begun down a trail of multiple story lines, fiction and non-fiction and while i was driving home for my lunch break / let the dog out for potty today, i thought of this blog post. i was thinking about how reading these various topics would influence my brainwaves. i was wondering what would happened as i mixed the two genres. would reading a book about the science of Leonardo and arguably the most famous books of fiction in modern time, exercise both the right and left sides of my brain simultaneously? Or, would the result be, SCIENCE FICTION?
thus, the experiment begins, currently i have finished reading the LEED study guide, and i am halfway through the Leonardo text and the first adventure of harry potter, each. i will be back with an analysis, in the next post or posts.
