The Dawn of Indian Music in the West, by Peter Lavezzoli. You need to care about the topic, but today this became one of my favorite non-fiction books, ever. I bought a copy just to express my loyalty to the author. I've said this before, but lack of knowledge of Indian classical music is the biggest gap in the education -- and enjoyment -- of many many smart people. This is one very good introduction but it offers much to the veteran as well. -- Bonk (What I've been Reading) from Marginal Revolution by Tyler Cowen
