V.S. Ramachandran's Phantoms in the Brain changed my life. The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat by Oliver Sacks solidified my interest in neuroscience And The Three Pound Enigma solidified my fascination with medicine in general. If you only read one, read Phantoms in the Brain. It's like the bible of science, providing the crumbs for future research into the deeply interesting and previously philosophical realms of the human brain and who we are.
