Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer
Rating: 4/5
Summary: The world of memory is a sketchy place. The sketchier the better for remembering. This book is about the art and history of memory skills. Creating a mind palace for lists you want to remember is actually pretty handy!

The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis
Rating: 4/5
Summary: Fun story! Lewis wrote this after the Narnia series, I’m impressed by the creativity. I wonder if he had this backstory made up before or if he actually created it afterwards.
