RaveLambda LiteraryReaders of Oliver Sacks have much to celebrate here. Already a fan of his work, I expected a random collection of well-written essays, with some pleasant insights.

Sacks the aggregator manages to pull together Darwin’s observations... Oliver Sacks shed much light on the human experience, and continues to do so ... His fans, including this reviewer, will eagerly await more posthumous essay collections.
