Sacks</a><br/><br/> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13276614?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review"><h3>My review</h3></a> Fascinating account of when Oliver Sacks hurt his own leg badly and subsequently lost his mental association with it. He opens up completely about the experience so it's fascinating as a view into what happens to someone in this situation. But he also adds in his remarkable erudition and knowledge about neuro-psychology which makes it all the more interesting. And as a bonus it's relatively short too! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/661132?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
