Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer

Monday June 20, 2011

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer is a fun read, and a good choice if you want something you can read a little at a time since it's not a fast paced page turner. Foer tells his own story about moving from journalist covering the National Memory Championship one year to winning it the next year. Each chapter is also an overview of memory science, psychology and memory techniques. This is a great book for those who want cocktail hour conversation fodder.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Time once again to think about summer reading. I always sign my kids up for the summer reading programs at the library. I just found out that our library is doing a program for adults this summer, and I'm a little excited to get my name in drawings for free prizes just because I read a certain number of books. Want to read with your teens this summer? Check out these top picks from a high school summer reading list for some ideas of books that you could read together.
