Everything in Its Place: First Loves and Last Tales
Everything in Its Place: First Loves and Last Tales | Oliver Sacks
3 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
From the best-selling author of Gratitude and On the Move, a final volume of essays that showcase Sacks's broad range of interests--from his passion for ferns, swimming, and horsetails, to his final case histories exploring schizophrenia, dementia, and Alzheimer's. Oliver Sacks, scientist and storyteller, is beloved by readers for his neurological case histories and his fascination and familiarity with human behavior at its most unexpected and unfamiliar. Everything in Its Place is a celebration of Sacks's myriad interests, told with his characteristic compassion and erudition, and in his luminous prose.

"But the ur-library, for me, was our local public library, the Willesden library. There I spent many of the happiest hours of my growing-up years — our house was a five-minute walk from the library — and it was there I received my real education."

From the essay titled "Libraries" by Oliver Sacks. Read the full article here - Oliver Sacks on Libraries https://bit.ly/2VJOQnS

Suet624 @kspenmoll I can‘t tell how I feel about the picture of Oliver. Sometimes I think it‘s cute and sometimes I think it‘s sad. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
