Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Joshua Foer
3.0
It was a fine quick read, but I don't know how much I really learned from it. It's not about "remembering everything" at all-- it's about techniques to remember certain things in a memory competitions. These techniques have a few real-world applications, like remembering names better, . But it's cool that ancient rhetoricians are the heroes of a subculture of mental athletes.
Economix: How and Why Our Economy Works (and Doesn't Work) in Words and Pictures: How and Why Our Economy Works (and Doesn't Work) in Words and Pictur by David Bach, Michael Goodwin
5.0
A lot of good history and theory of economics, in comic form, to explain the mess we're in now.
