Sacks describes the different types of hallucinations that people can experience for reasons outside of schizophrenia. Although quite interesting, it lacked context of why he was writing about this topic, so it felt more like an annotated list of hallucination types. What was most interesting to me in it was Sacks telling of his own forays into taking hallucinogenic drugs--ostensibly for research purposes--when he was a neurology resident, living in Topanga Canyon in the 1960s. When in Rome!
