Pre-Reading-Phineas Gage!!!!

heyy guys..i was finally able to log on thanks to Senor Gatton..well im reading a book called Phineas Gage by John Fleischman. It's about a guy who gets a pole shot threw his head. Gross?I KNOW!!! Well, the books talks about the life of Phineas after this horrible accident. I chose this book because i was interested in knowing how his life was after this incedent and because I am also interested in the brain. What I expect from this book is to learn exactly how it affected him. I don't expect it to be boring. I expect to be surprised and learn a lot of new things about the brain.
