Today I checked out:
Born a Crime recommended here
The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat as I have liked some of Sacks's other books
The Orchard by Robertson, not to be confused with the book by the same name by Weir that I am still reading
Blood Will Out
The Speckled People
On Tyranny
I am making myself read some fiction - Eleanor Olliphant is Just Fine and
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver. Both a little unsettling but holding my attention.
Last nonfiction book read - Them by Ben Sasse.
I checked out the original Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I wanted to reread We Don't Live in the Castle but it was not on the shelf.
Re The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat—
my Neighbor told me the other day that he has that psychological condition where he cannot recognize faces. He’s a nerdy scientist who is very nice and interesting. His son went to college at the same university where he is employed and he said he regularly saw his son over the years but never recognized him. His son would later report when the dad had looked at them.
I imagine this is the same condition that the man who mistook took his wife for a hat had. Yes?
