I am grateful for YOU!!!

The almost final book from an eccentric, beloved human being. Oliver Sacks broke ground when he began to write down his stories of his patients, all different, all interesting, and some just plain odd! He didn't care; he reveled in their uniqueness. He was from an extraordinary family of doctors and inventors and was allowed to experiment with all kinds of things! In this book, he describes how he feels knowing that he is dying of an aggressive form of cancer. To read this small book is to wonder about the world and doing the best to live in the moment.
