具体描述
When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: “Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far.” It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California, where he struggled with drug addiction and then in New York, where he discovered a long forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, we see how his engagement with patients comes to define his life.
With unbridled honesty and humor, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions — weightlifting and swimming—also drives his cerebral passions. He writes about his love affairs, both romantic and intellectual; his guilt over leaving his family to come to America; his bond with his schizophrenic brother; and the writers and scientists—Thom Gunn, A.R. Luria, W.H. Auden, Francis Crick — who influenced him. On the Move is the story of a brilliantly unconventional physician and writer — and of the man who illuminated the many ways that the brain makes us human.
作者简介
Oliver Sacks, M.D. is a physician, a best-selling author, and a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. The New York Times has referred to him as “the poet laureate of medicine.”
He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and An Anthropologist on Mars. Awakenings, his book about a group of patients who had survived the great encephalitis lethargica epidemic of the early twentieth century, inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.
Dr. Sacks is a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books.

读后感
这是一位英国科学家的自传。 相比于历史上那些如雷贯耳的自传和回忆录，这本书的分量过于轻，也不见有什么划时代的意义。 但就是有那么几点，让人难忘与感动。 关于寻常，关于热爱，关于自我，关于他者，关于生命，关于死亡。 作者本身只是一位致力于临床医学的神经科学家，因...
评分看完这本书后，才感叹人生原来也可以这样过！一个人的人生没有所谓正确，也没有所谓成功，只要你自己觉得有意义，你的人生就是有意义的！即使他是同性恋，即使他吸过毒，丝毫不妨碍他成为一名杰出的神经学家，依然不能掩盖他对神经学科做出的巨大贡献，依然黯淡不了他所显现的...

评分讲述临床故事的医生 评《说故事的人》 整本书阅读下来，你会发现全文的内容似乎更贴切它副标题的描述“萨克斯医生自传”，但为什么这本书取名为《说故事的人》呢？这中间有着什么深刻的涵义，是作者留给读者去深思的吗？ 我一直在思考这个问题，为什么在选题上，不直接说是英国...

We share tons of qualities in common,so maybe that is why I am addicted to Oliver Sacks and his fancinating works.
评分what a life!
评分结尾好一下就加颗星。确实像Dr. Sacks的老友评价过的那样，他的文字（至少这本书里）总觉得少点sympathy/humanity，直到结尾几页谈到爱情❤️才好些～ 准备看Awakenings的电影，以后有空再补上他写的其他书吧。

评分读到一半了，不知能否会继续。对大脑神经科学一无所知，也没看过作者以前的作品。医学专业生词太多，读的有点费劲。感觉因为作者不是专业的作家，文笔一般。流水账一般的记录自己的成长经历，很多东西一笔带过，也没有深度剖析自己行为的原因。可能成长的环境太不一样，很难产生真正的共鸣。如果是搞医学的读起来也许会不一样？唯一引起我兴趣的是描述骑宝马摩托旅行的经历。
