You would appreciate anything by Oliver Sacks. He was a celebrated neurologist who wrote a bunch of great books about consciousness and fascinating stories about conditions he saw in his practice from a very philosophical rather than strictly clinical point of view. You could start with The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Hallucinations, or Awakenings. He gave a nice TED talk if you want to get a taste for it.

As an aside, Neurologists Oliver Sacks's Awakenings is a fascinating book where you can explore the the relationship between Parkinsons, dopamine, and its precursor L-DOPA.
