Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh

4.0

Memoir might be my favorite kind of book, and I especially enjoy memoirs in which the author lives a life very different from my own, so that I can vicariously be a chef, or in this case, a British brain surgeon, operating in London, the Ukraine and Nepal. I also love to accompany the author on his flight of thought, skimming the present, the past, and the future, and reflecting on how the pieces of his life fit together.
