I highly recommend Oliver Sacks' books. I've read "An Anthropologist On Mars" and "The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat". In both, he talks about several people who had various brain injuries and their strange consequences.
I love his writing: he simultaneously gives a detailed analysis and a very humanistic perspective.
I had read several of his books, and thought I had a pretty good picture of him. Then I read his new memoir "On the Move", and I found out how little I knew about his life, which turned out to be far more interesting than I'd imagined. I can't recommend it highly enough.
