    Oliver Sachs' work definitley has some of the most intruiging studies out there. I've only read one and a half of his books, but plan on reading Musicophilia soon, once I can get my hands on a copy of it.

      The book just has so many layers and facets, it's really shown me how to appreciate hard work. And it's such a mind-trip.

      I honestly can't really explain how it's impacted me.

      But the Stand is pretty good. First Stephen King book I'd recommend to someone (and probably the only one).
      Ugh...if they'd reprint a version of House of Leaves that was JUST The Navidson Record, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. The rest of the story itself was just uninteresting, to say nothing for how irritating it became reading 4 pages ahead of footnotes cascading down and then having to find your way back out to the main text every 20 pages.

          I don't really read at all lol, but I was impacted by A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini because it made me realize how fortunate I really am to be a woman in america. It doesn't hurt that the story is beautiful too .
