I'm finally getting around to reading Phantoms in the Brain by V.S. Ramachandran. There are a lot of really interesting ideas in the book, especially the idea that we can learn how the brain works by studying what happens when it doesn't work the way it should. Ramachandran and Sandra Blakeslee, Ramachandran's co-author, do a great job of making the book an easy read without sacrificing any relevant information.
