If brain events other than epilepsy are of interest, I can recommend a couple of things. My Stroke of Insight is a memoir by Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist. The description of the experience of a stroke by someone who really understands the brain is fascinating. A Bomb in the Brain is Steve Fishman's account of suffering a cerebral hemorrhage while in Nicaragua, trying to get competent treatment, and making his way back to the U.S. It's 25 years old but still sticks in my mind.
