Lovely memoir, but bittersweet, I had no idea this wonderful & intellectual man past away last yr, so sad. I read some of his books back in college in the 90's & loved his approach to his scientific & medical observations, which were very funny & easy to imagine. This memoir is really just glimpses of this guy's life, given how much he wrote daily until his death, so the fact this book read so well under 400pgs is quite a feat. It could of been easily a 1,000. The amazing ppl he has encountered in his lifetime - Stephen J. Gould, Auden, DNA Crick!, gosh, I would love to have been to one their lectures, or just sitting at a table eavesdropping, w/ all these highly intellectual ppl. I would say the only real, technical chapter in the book was the 2nd to last, A New Vision of the Mind, but the rest, entertaining. I was hoping he spoke about his belief in God, given his parents were religious Jews, just more philosophical notions. Also, why he never got a laptop, since he loves to write. I wanted his thoughts on current events, like what he thought about the Internet, it doesn't seem he had a cell phone. I was surprised that the he didn't relish the modern computer era, given how the computer is like a big brain. I thought he would talk about some other issues, besides all scientific ones, like Stephen Hawk does. But oh well, overall I love this memoir, even the sexy pic for the front cover.
I fell in love with Oliver Sacks and his writing after my parents gave me "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" this past Christmas. Ever since, I've been hooked and can't get enough. I've now read "Hat", "Hallucinations," " Musicophilia," and now his autobiography. His writing is so elegant yet lucid, that it feels as though I'm reading fiction at times. This new book of his is no different, and may perhaps be the most fascinating of them all.To say that he has lived life to the fullest would be a severe understatement; he has filled his life with enough adventure and excitement to occupy four lifetimes, and he is still going (and may he continue to do so for many years, in spite of his cancer). His openness and honesty in "On the Move" is spectacular, moving, and one feels as though he is having a fireside conversation with Sacks himself. There is so much I never knew about him, so much that I almost found hard to believe! (You'll understand this as you read through the book). What a man, what a life!As a student who will be starting his first year at medical school this August, I can say that I aspire to be half the man that Oliver Sacks has become. He is part of the reason that I have fallen even more in love with the medical field, particularly neurology and psychiatry. There is much to learn from this book, regardless of one's profession, interests, and background. There is so much more to say, but I'm no wordsmith as Sacks is, so I'll let you read it for yourself. It is my hope that you enjoy every page, sentence, and carefully crafted word that Oliver Sacks has used to print his life onto paper. As Albert Schweitzer said, "my life is my argument," and no doubt Sacks will embody this message until the end.
Oliver Sacks is one of the most important thinkers of our time. His prior works have offered considerable insight about and needed compassion toward the immensely broad spectrum of the human condition: from memory loss and divergent modes of mental processing to profound sensory limitations. Above all, he has enabled us to walk in others' shoes and imagine perceiving the world from a wholly different perspective. Not only is he a compassionate and thorough physician, he is also an extraordinary writer. His prose is compelling, vivid, and persuasive. Yet in his intellectual discourse, it is easy to focus on his mind and think of him as purely a thinker, rather than as a complete person. On the Move, a brilliant autobiography, sheds considerable insight into the rest of his life, showing his 'human' side, including passions, strengths and weaknesses. It is a fascinating chronicle of a young man who discovers his sexual orientation during a very prejudiced age, who struggles with a drinking problem, who values the life of the body (working out) as well as the mind, and who loves roaming free, whether on his motorcycle, running or scuba diving. At last, the error in the film Awakenings, in which the character supposed to be Sacks is shown as timid and barely attuned to life, is corrected. Sacks is certainly not timid, and despite medical challenges, has shown himself to be very much full of life. It is society that has been too timid, and at long last needs to embrace diversity.Paul Halpern, author of Einstein's Dice and Schrödinger's Cat: How Two Great Minds Battled Quantum Randomness to Create a Unified Theory of Physics
Both this and the earlier volume (Uncle Tungsten) are excellent autobiographies by Oliver Sacks. You would not have guessed from reading his books about neurology that he was a biker and weight lifter in his wild younger years, and also an experimenter (on himself) with drugs. He has described his shyness and a sense of a barrier between himself and others. But his autobiography is uncommonly open and self revealing. His writing made him famous and On the Move recounts his friendships with other famous people (Francis Crick, Robin Williams, etc). It is not stated in these books, but I would guess his friends and acquaintances found Dr. Sacks quite interesting and original. I hope one or more of those friends who are still with us might share their observations of this remarkable humanist/scientist.
