coreyln 's review for:
Everything in Its Place
by Oliver Sacks
Not the first Oliver Sacks book I bought, but the first I read. It started off with how he likes swimming...a lot. This turned not just into memories, but wonderful stories of how Mr Sacks learned, was inspired, and with some of his final thoughts on how the world works. The last article was the most compelling for me, and I teared up a bit, as I recently lost my husband far too early. But the chapter on dementia and the loss of attention into smartphones was thought-provoking beyond anything else in a long time. This book just got better with each chapter and I wholly recommend it to anyone that appreciates the quest for knowledge. This is a memoir of Mr. Sacks' life in snippets as he discovered science, life, and how he was able to also contribute to the common good. He never lost his inquisitive nature.
