Finished "Moonwalking with Einstein" by Joseph Foer, which was about memory and what techniques people use to memorize crazy things like the random order of a deck of cards in under a minute. Rather interesting, though as I told someone on the subway when she asked, it isn't a self-help book that will improve your memory and the methods used actually take quite a bit of practice and work to master. Still, gives a lot of insight into how memory and the brain works.

Now reading "Daughter of the Empire", book one of the Empire Trilogy by Raymond Feist and Janny Wurts.
