The River of Consciousness | Oliver Sacks

pick

My first Oliver Sacks. I really enjoyed these small snippets into various scientific fields studied by the author. Darwin, evolution, time, speed, the nature of scientific discoveries, medical diagnoses, and more in easy-to-digest and entertaining chapters. I will never look at Tourette's syndrome the same way again. Fascinating. Also, I listened to the #audiobook which was nicely done.

Palimpsest @Chelsea.Poole is that plant a kind of fern or something else? I love it. 5y

Chelsea.Poole @Palimpsest thank you! It's a lemon button fern. My mom just got it for me for Easter. And I believe it actually came from Walmart! 5y

Palimpsest @Chelsea.Poole thank you so much for responding! I‘m going to look for it. 😊 5y

Newest read this morning! #nonfiction
My first read from Oliver Sacks, though he's been on my list for a long time.
Also, my first time making anything with my sourdough starter 🥰🥖
These are crumpets and they are good, but would have been better if I would have had the proper tins to make them in. Still proud though! Happy little #bookandbreakfast
English breakfast tea and crumpets ☕️

Grabbed these quickly from the library before closing last week for #quarantinereading
These seemed like the perfect books to read right now. Making my way through some other things I've started to get to these two beauties. 🌿🌊

fleeting I loved both! 5y

Chelsea.Poole @fleeting glad to hear it! 😊 5y

Wow! Stunning! These essays blew me away! Oliver Sacks‘ last book was my first read of his, but it won‘t be MY last! Meditations on history, health, memory, medicine, consciousness and more. Sacks shares a lifetime of curiosity, experience, and synthesis with his readers. I‘m hooked. Hopelessly hooked!

I know #justtherightbook gets a bad rap for being expensive, but the service costs less than $10 when you discount the price of the book. Shipping is included in the fee. This is my third book from Just The Right Book and it was literally in my hold cue@at the library! I can‘t tell you how many times I eyed it at the bookstore. So they are basically reading my mind now! I‘m so excited to read this book!

emilyhaldi I ❤️ Oliver Sacks! Haven‘t heard much about this one, hope it‘s good 😄 7y

A short essay collection that makes us feel the loss of an Oliver Sacks very keenly. He loved science and scientific advances in all fields. The collection is a too eclectic to be as wonderful as The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat. The essays on Darwin aren‘t that interesting but for essays that focus more particularly on neuroscience and the brain, especially “Scotoma: Forgetting and Neglect in Science” his love and passion shine through.

Ashley_Nicoletto Autumn is my favorite season plus this line up. 😍😍 Give me a big cup of coffee, leggings, and a blanket and I'll be settled in until spring. 8y

BkClubCare No! Let not this summer end! 8y

MicheleinPhilly I'm with @Ashley_Nicoletto! Summer be gone! Sorry @BkClubCare. 8y

BkClubCare @MicheleinPhilly - that's Ok. It's just that I am looking for a place to live this fall and would prefer to put off the decision and just read. 8y

DGRachel Autumn is my favorite season, too! 8y

LauraBeth @saresmoore I blame @micheleinphilly for bringing up pre-ordering something and making me think, I should just go ahead and pre-order all the books now 😂 8y

MicheleinPhilly @BkClubCare Ugh. In that case I don't blame you at all. Good luck! 8y
