Oliver Sacks

Just started reading his memoir, On the Move: A Life, last week after a conversation with Reks about how I needed to read more of his stuff. Also loved Awakenings, of course, and enjoyed The Man Who Mistook His Wife l For a Hat, and Musicophilia.

 Catching up late with this but for those who enjoyed his work I'd highly recommend checking out the last interview that he did for Radiolab.

Or if you want to experience like I first did have a listen to this - http://www.radiolab.org/story/radiolab-live-telltale-hearts-featuring-oliver-sacks/ - which includes not only the interview but related stories that Radiolab assembled for a live performance.
