The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat is such a wonderful book - perhaps my favourite. The characters and ailments of each case are fascinating, but it's Sacks' empathy and understanding that really makes the books special.
Every few pages I would stop reading, stare into space and contemplate the unusual perspective that he has elucidated. Not many books have such an effect.
