Ha! I read "Another Day in the Frontal Lobe" too. It was pretty good, not as good as Gawande though. I have the book, "How Doctors Think" in my to read pile as well. The other day on the Today show, they were talking about a book called, "Welcome to your Brain" which I put in my amazon wishlist. Looks pretty interesting.
What is it with all the books about brain surgery? There are NO books about heart surgery (trust me, I've looked). I think it speaks to the massive ego needed to be a brain surgeon...
But yes, those books look good too...I might have to look into them as well. I spend so much time reading text books and scientific articles that even when I'm reading for "fun" I have a hard time getting out of the groove where I feel like I should be learning something if I'm "wasting" my time reading it.. you know?PJ: St. Paul 6.16.2003, St. Paul 6.26.2006, St. Paul 6.27.2006, Hartford 6.27.2008, Mansfield 6.28.2008, Mansfield 6.30.2008, Beacon Theater 7.1.2008, Toronto 8.21.2009, Chicago 8.23.2009, Chicago 8.24.2009, Philly 10.30.2009, Philly 10.31.2009, Columbus 5.6.2010, Noblesville 5.7.2010

No, there's acutally seven now. The last one came out in 2004 (I think?) The first four are the best, though the last three do have their moments."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -

This is my favorite series of all time.
Drawing of the Three and the Wastlands are my two favorites.
Right now I'm reading Under the Banner of Heaven by John Krakauer."The dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' her easy for all us sinners."0 -
