Wait a little longer, you'll never regret it.' Peter Toohey's masterful slow ride through the arts and sciences echoes Pozzo's line from Waiting for Godot at every turn. We're all just waiting, and neuroscience research shows why that's a good thing, whether we are narrating Dr. Seuss, reveling in Miles Davis, or admiring a Degas pastel. Take your time with this book; it'll be worth it.
Peter Toohey is Professor of Classics at the University of Calgary, whose previous books include Boredom and Jealousy.
