A review by ericfheiman
A Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman

3.0

Exhilarating, educational, and exhausting. Basically a comprehensive history of the senses told by a lyrical romantic poet. Some rich stuff here, but its rapid, free-association unspooling of so much knowledge is overwhelming at times. Best in small doses (and probably why it took me over a year to read it).
