I have read a great number of books which have influenced
me. Historically they include subject matter such as aphasia, neurological soft brain damage, dyslexia,
and other specific brain differences due to many factors which
include things such as war and stroke victims. I have read a great deal
concerning post-traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders,
and acquisition of knowledge and skills. I am most interested in the totality of the human experience,
which is a human's ability to interpret events around them and respond in a
functional way. Of course then up pops that nasty question "what is
functioning any way?" What follows is a short list of books I have
found fascinating or ground breaking.

Break Down of the
