Want to Read: Oliver Sacks - The Mind's Eye

Oliver Sacks is always great reading. This one is about how our minds cope with the loss of sight. I haven't read anything by him in a while, so I'm looking forward to this book.

Update: I just read another review of this book. It's about Oliver Sacks' own progressive loss of sight, due to cancer. Suddenly it seems so much more poignant. I first read his early autobiography, "Memoirs of a Chemical Boyhood" in the hospital while my father was dying of cancer.
