Over the past month or so I've been chipping away at Oliver Sacks' oeuvre all at once: I've read River of Consciousness and An Anthropologist on Mars in full, and am halfway through Musicophilia, and I'm rereading chunks of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.
He's lovely and I intend to continue (I have to get Awakenings in too at the very least, and the newer posthumous essay collection) but I'd like other good neuro reading. Not textbooks (I've already done that at an undregraduate level) and not pop pseudoneuro drivel (e.g. Proust was a Neuroscientist) and not the crude neuro of a century and more ago either (e.g. James, Freud) and CERTAINLY not psychology/psychiatric reading (I've done enough of that and it's distinct from neurology).
I know that Sacks takes an intent interest in both Alexander Luria and Antonio Damasio, so those are avenues of interest. Ramachandran also maybe.
