[edit] Favorite Books
[edit] Memory
- The Memory Book: The Classic Guide to Improving Your Memory at Work, at School, and at Play, by Harry Lorayne and Jerry Lucas, is the first one Tom read, but it's probably the worst.
- Super Memory - Super Student: How to Raise Your Grades in 30 Days, by Harry Lorayne is good because it gives the most examples.
- Tom thinks that Harry Lorayne's Page-A-Minute Memory Book gives a better explaination of the systems than the other books give, but he didn't read this book very deeply, so he is not sure how much better it is than the others.
[edit] Mental Math
- Becoming a Mental Math Wizard is the more advanced and, thus, more interesting one.
- Tom recommends getting Miracle Math as well anyway.
