Seeing Voices: Journey into the World of the Deaf

Author:Oliver Sacks
Genre: Non-Fiction
Date Finished: February 16, 2008

Interesting book, a little philosophical and rambly. I especially enjoyed the last chapter which talks about the 1988 student strike at Gallaudet University which resulted in the appointment of the first ever Deaf president. Over all, Talking Hands as a more interesting read, a better introduction to linguistics and a better introduction to the Deaf community in general.
