If you pick it up, I’d be interested to hear what you think :)

This sounds like a book I’d really like — both the topic and the way the story is told.

Guess I’ll be picking it up – again :D

I’m working very hard at doing so for grad school, since it’s generally expected that we be able to back up ideas by referring to results from research papers for which we know the first author’s name and the publication date. But even in my fun reading, I love to read books with interesting facts and I wish I remembered more of them. I would also be all over luminosity if it were free :)

It reminds me of Moonwalking With Einstein, which was an amazing book about a regular guy who wants to know if you really can teach yourself to remember things and decides to compete in the world memory championship.
