The Mind's Eye - Oliver Sacks
"Language, that most human invention, can enable what, in principle, should not be possible. It can allow all of us, even the congenitally blind, to see with another person's eyes."
Once again, Dr. Sacks brings warmth and humor to his exploration of the mysterious workings of the brain.
I need to remind myself, I could not possibly have all these disorders!

Can you believe I have NEVER read a Sacks book??? Yet I own almost all of them! He's one of those authors that I just know that I'll love so I buy all of his books :p I have to actually read them now, lol
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love his books. His genuine affection for the people he discusses and his complete fascination with their disorders is apparent in his writing. And It's amazing what our brains will do when left to their own devices (or not).
