    Just finished reading The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (and Other Clinical Tales) by Oliver Sacks (243 pgs). This book is absolutely hilarious and it makes me feel a little bit more normal. Not only are the tales funny, but I also learned a lot about various neurological disorders. I strongly recommend this book and all other books written by Oliver Sacks.

    I also finished reading the play Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet (108 pgs). This play was on the list for my AP Lit summer reading work and I though it seemed kind of interesting. However, I didn’t really like it that much. To me, it just seemed like a bunch of guys swearing at each other over leads and other business stuff the whole time. Maybe I’ll try reading it again, or I’ll just watch the movie; my teacher told me that it’s pretty good.

    • I love Oliver Sacks so much! One of the stories (I think it’s called The Disembodied Woman?) in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat seriously gave me nightmares though. What a horrifying situation!

    • Oliver Sacks is incredible! So glad you like him. I loved Anthropologist on Mars as well :D
