Oliver Sacks
Oliver Sacks — 4 titles in the rankings, first published between 1985 and 2012. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.
Editor’s note British neurologist who wrote case histories with the warmth of short stories, treating his patients as people first. The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, his most read, collects portraits of people living with strange neurological conditions, among them the title’s music teacher who could no longer recognise faces. An Anthropologist on Mars, with its essay on the autistic scientist Temple Grandin, rates highest; Musicophilia, on music and the brain, rates lowest. Any is a good start.
