The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human by V.S. Ramachandran

3.0

Sometimes I felt like I was forcing myself to finish this book, but it wasn't because I didn't like it; I just had other books I wanted to read more. But when I did pick it up, I really liked the insights into the brain that the author puts forth. The author strikes a good balance between scientific fact and anecdote; most people could follow this book without taking a neurobiology class. I'm certainly interested in reading more by this author, but it will be a while until I work through some more of my TBR pile. Intelligent folks with open minds will appreciate the subtle digs the author gets in on various human foibles.
