I'm interested

Ah, Yes
I feel like coach Dennis Green.  "We are who they thought we are.  They are who we thought they are."  I'm interested in what I'm interested in.

Right, so start with Helmholtz's book (already mentioned):
http://books.google.com/books?id=x_A5AAAAIAAJ

Then you can tackle Sethares' book:

You can read this short article:

You can ask questions here.

You can do what I suggested, and post your materials here,
or at the very least open the archives of your list to
nonmembers and post a link here, and ask for comments.

We might start by figuring out whether you're interested
in musical consonance or sensory consonance (also called
"concordance" by some), or both. The above materials
pertain mostly to the subject of sensory consonance.

I found searching for "carol krumhansl dissonance" on Google Books
gives a good result for musical dissonance. Her work (I forget if
it's this book in particular) is good at explaining why the tonal
rules work.
