The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks

challenging emotional funny informative medium-paced
Not my favourite Oliver Sacks I have to say, but I think that's because the language is a lot more clinical and dated than everything else I have read by him. The empathy and love is still there though, just be prepared for words like 'imbecile' and 'retard' to be thrown around without the nuance I would usually expect.
