Finished reading

CRASHING THROUGH - Robert Kurson (hardcover, 306pgs)

Fairly good read, VERY interesting case study. (I like reading case studies, so hush.) I don't think I'll read it a second time, but it's definitely worth a first read. It's got fairly good scientific information about physiology, psychology, and a little bit of neuroscience all presented together in logical order. It goes into the case study in a way that's like story telling and, even if Kurson may be not be a talented writer, he is a GOOD writer. The part in the story about how May has trouble IDing the curbs had me sympathizing -- that's what it's like for me when I go out after dark without my glasses: I can't tell apart what is a curb and what is just a shadow. It's a strange feeling.
