For this month's books show on The Point, our theme is the brain. We have a wide array of brain centered titles: novels that have plots that center on the brain, a book that explains how your brain works when you are reading, how food and your brain work together, and even some picture books that highlight the brain. Our guests are Jill Erickson, retired reference librarian, and Jayne Iafrate, past chair of Falmouth Reads together
