Blindness
by José Saramago
· published 1995 · last read 2014-03-01
★★★★☆
Blindness felt really strong – the general vibe of the book is still easy to recall for me years later. The epidemic blindness that befalls everybdoy in contact with a victim is terrifying, but the terror isn't overdone. It's humanized, low-key, loving even. I'm glad I read this book.
Descartes’ Error
by António R. Damásio
· published 1994 · read 2020-04-18
★★★★☆
Didn't hold much new information for me, because its contents have grown so accepted and foundational in the 25 years since publication. Nevertheless it provides a solid fundamental overview in a very readable way, despite also dealing in a bit of technical details.
