Default Book Suggestion, \"Your Memory\"

Your Memory, by Higbee. I'm just 1/3 of the way through. Well written, mainly simply intuitive stuff he talks about regarding memory but it's very helpful to have it talked about explicitly, and the consequences and implications layed out. I went into this book kind of thinking "i'm pretty smart with a good memory already, i'm just curious what mnuemics tricks he has to offer" but have been pleasantly surprised.

If you are a student at college highly recommend this. Or if you are just interested in memory, or improving your memory, whatever, this is a great book on the subject.

You like all the books you read. The last one turned you into a vegetarian and the previous one made you want to ride a bike in the rain. Now, all of that is fine stuff, but I don't know if reading books is good for you given how impressionable you seem.

Nope, someone is pondering if 9999 posts are enough.

I have The Memory Book by Lorrayne/Lucas and it's very good. I wonder how these differ.
