Review of 'Hallucinations' by Oliver Sacks

Oliver Sacks’ newest book, Hallucinations, examines the historical and cultural role of the hallucination in a very approachable, yet thoroughly scientific manner. Instead of hallucinations belonging only in the sphere of the insane, Dr. Sacks examines how many people experience visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations and even hallucinatory smells in their daily life and often fear the stigma associated with such behavior.

Book Review: The Language of Flowers by Southern Voices Author Vanessa Diffenbaugh

I do not exactly know what I was expecting when I opened The Language of Flowers and started reading, but I do not think that I was expecting to be completely and utterly amazed and captivated by the story right from the very first paragraph:

For eight years I dreamed of fire. Tree ignited as I passed them; oceans burned. The sugary smoke settled in my hair as I slept, the scent like a cloud left on my pillow as I rose. Even so, the moment my mattress started to burn, I bolted awake. The sharp, chemical smell was nothing like the hazy syrup of my dreams; the two were as different as Carolina and Indian jasmine, separation and attachment. They could not be confused. (pg 3)
