Fascinating stuff.

this sounded really interesting so i borrowed it yesterday
at first i was incredulous that someone (a brain scientist none the less) suffering a stroke and losing "pathways" to so many things would retain this experience with so much detail but the book won me over
i couldn't put it down
very information packed and still accessible reading
plus fascinating is right

thanks for sharing this find

i now have a completely different outlook on the childhood times i shared with my stroke affected grandma

the writing was horrible!

wow, i just realized it's been awhile since i've posted in here

my reading has slowed down a bit the last few weeks...

lately i've still been working through 'sex & disability'...
started reading 'health at every size'
and i'm halfway through 'the time traveler's wife' (borrowed it from my sis yesterday - i read half of it in the dr's office, that visit took like 5 hours yesterday, but it feels a bit like it's dragging to me so i don't know how long it'll take me to finish)
i've also been rereading 'the good and beautiful life' off and on for the third or fourth time.

okay, i made it halfway through the time traveler's wife on friday and i can't finish it. it's boring me to death. i don't understand why people love this book so much. i want to finish because maybe something magical happens in the second half (and my conscience will nag me if i stop) but...i just can't get into it. the writing is really pretty but that's not enough to sustain 500+ pages.
