Welcome to the new Tuesday Review ! Every Tuesday, I want to review a book or website that offers major insights about remembering and thinking.
Today’s review: The Memory Book , by Harry Lorayne & Jerry Lucas. An oldie, a goodie, and possibly, a gigantic mistake.
I picked up my copy at a library book sale back in 2006. I’d been meaning to improve my memory for awhile, but this is the book that changed everything.
The Memory Book unlocked the strange and magical world of visual memory systems. Visual mnemonics , the loci method , mnemonics for numbers , names, decks of cards, Chinese ideograms, foreign vocabulary, maps, even sports plays – it’s all here.
I’ve read many similar books since then, but this little book packs in more visual mnemonic systems than any other book I’ve seen.
(And I haven’t even checked the updated edition. They may have added even more. They may also have cleaned up the occasional racist and chauvinistic undertones that publishers didn’t notice so much in 1974.)
This is a great little book of mnemonics. Unfortunately, I no longer think mnemonics are the key to remembering. Instead, I think you remember best by cultivating the four mental habits of attention, interest, assocation, and review. Mnemonics ultimately get in the way.
Interestingly, Lorayne and Lucas also begin with attention. They call it Original Awareness. I can still remember reading this, and sensing that Original Awareness was probably important. But it also sounded boring. I wanted to get to the cool memory systems.
So did they. Attention gets very little discussion. They quickly move on, and the rest of the book features mnemonics.
Still, at least they mentioned attention. And it does come up again throughout the book. You can’t remember a name, for instance, if you don’t hear it first. Other memory articles and books often seem to skip attention entirely.
Mnemonics associate knowledge so that you can find it again. But instead of associating it other actual knowledge in your head, you associate the new knowledge with a strange, memorable, and otherwise meaningless mnemonic.
Arguing against mnemonics is bittersweet for me. If you flip through The Memory Book , you get a whirlwind of crazy new things to think about. I can still feel echoes of my first excitement. I glimpsed a new world, a world where I could I translate anything I wanted into images that would stay .
Over years of practice, I discovered that the images did stay. What didn’t stay so well was the actual knowledge.
Even when the knowledge would stay, I had a hard time thinking about it. My mnemonics for the Gospel of Mark might help me remember the words of a verse, but could I imagine the verse or think about it? Not so much. I was too busy imagining the mnemonic.
For instance, Lorayne and Lucas have a short chapter on remembering what you read. They suggest making up mnemonics for every fact as you read.
A single, fact-loaded paragraph generates a chain of six separate pictures. Some with multiple elements. For one paragraph .
When I read this now, it seems crazy. My eyes glaze over just rereading their complicated mnemonics. You would have to practice and practice and practice to be able to spin up mnemonics fast enough to read more than a few pages an hour.
And how long would they last? Mnemonics can fade quickly. You’d have to practice visualizing until these mnemonics would actually stay in your head for more than a few minutes. How would you keep similar mnemonics from interfering with each other? And how many facts would you still remember in a month?
Though they don’t answer these questions, Lorayne and Lucas may have managed to developed their mnemonic skills to overcome these problems. Even so, why didn’t they just spend all that mental energy thinking about the actual material ? Instead of making mnemonics, they could have been finding meanings. Connecting to what they already knew.
How would you have any time left over to think about what you’d read?
I will say this – mnemonics are better than nothing. If you’ve spent your whole life not paying full attention (as I did), mnemonics force you to think more clearly than you ever have.
Every so often, Lorayne and Lucas seem to sense that improving your memory has much more to do with concentration than mnemonics.
Remember that if you think up your own silly pictures, you’re more Originally Aware of the information. Just trying to form the associations is half the battle–you’re concentrating on the material as you never have before.
But they go on to suggest using mnemonics to memorize the Bible or Shakespeare. I know from my own experience that mnemonics make remembering texts harder . They make me think about the goofy mnemonics, not the meanings of the texts. Spend that time reading the words slowly, out loud, and you’ll learn them much faster.
It’s worth noting that Lorayne used these memory tricks professionally – as actual tricks . He was a magician. For instance, he routinely memorized the names of an entire studio audience, hearing each name only once.
If I had to memorize hundreds of names in twenty minutes, I’d use mnemonics too. I wouldn’t be trying to know these people, only hold on to the information long enough to perform.
(In real life, I think a more meaningful approach to names would be much better.)
But learning isn’t a studio performance. Facts are worthless if they don’t mean anything to you. And meaning comes from connecting facts, not to mnemonics, but to other meaningful knowledge.
The Memory Book remains an excellent introduction, possibly the best, to practical visual mnemonics. But when are visual mnemonics really practical? Magic shows? Definitely. Tests that are all about the grade? For sure.
Books you really care about? For that, you need quality thinking .

“It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” While this usually relates to the physical loss of someone, it can just as easily fit for the distressing condition of dementia. The Notebook ’s Allie Hamilton ( Rachel McAdams ) may not have lost Noah ( Ryan Gosling ), but she lost the memory of him, and maybe that’s not all too different. When the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks ’ best-selling novel hit the big screen in 2004, it wasn’t long before it was dubbed the next big romance. After all, what says romance better than lovers embracing in the pouring rain? (Minus the drowned rat look, of course). Alongside some of the most iconic scenes of this movie including Ryan Gosling talking about how many letters he's written over the years and Rachel McAdams saying she's a bird, The Notebook 's deeply affecting portrayal of dementia still stands out to this day .
Today, there are several on-screen depictions of dementia, the most recent of which is The Father . Filmed in such a way that the viewer experiences much of the same confusion as someone living with this condition, it quickly garnered praise. And Anthony Hopkins even picked up the ultimate accolade — the Oscar — for his portrayal. Yet, while there has been plenty of material that has given us a good insight into the day-to-day reality for sufferers and their families, The Notebook gave us something different . And coming out in 2004, it was one of the first movies that delved into the topic.
Adapted from Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same name, The Notebook is a romantic drama film that follows a couple who fall in love during the 1940s. Duke, an older man, recounts the story of two young lovers whose lives never lined up quite right to a fellow patient in his nursing home. Reading from the notebook pages, the movie keeps flashing from the present into the past to tell the story of the one that got away.
Directed by Nick Cassavetes , The Notebook is a classic boy meets girl tale. Falling in love as teenagers, the headstrong rich girl Allie, and the poor boy with a heart of gold, Noah, are instantly inseparable. Despite coming from opposite worlds and having Allie's family constantly barging in on their relationship, the young couple fought the odds head-first. Even when Allie was set to marry someone else who seemed to check off the boxes in her parents' criteria, it took the character one glance at the newspaper to have her feelings for Noah return in full force. After the two reconnect later in life, it becomes clear that nothing can prevent them from being together .
Although their rekindled relationship seven years after their early romance feels like a happily ever after, the present proves to be a much different reality. When McAdams and Gosling aren't sharing a passionate kiss in the rain, there is another couple audiences see: the aged-up versions of Allie and Noah . We soon discover that Allie ( Gena Rowlands ) now has Alzheimer’s and lives in a senior care center, where she is constantly being assisted by caretakers. Every day, Noah ( James Garner ), now known as Duke, reads to her from a notebook that ultimately tells the story of their love. Yet, given Allie's condition, she perceives the story as merely fiction. A beautiful tale of two soulmates finding their way back to each other. Despite being told repeatedly by doctors that Allie just won’t remember what they went through, Noah never gives up hope . “Science goes only so far, then comes God,” he argues.
Seeing this deeply affecting condition played out before our eyes is bound to be heartbreaking in any way. Yet, there is something even more moving about seeing it interspersed with joyful youth. The audience gets to see the full life this woman led , aside from the difficulties she is facing with memory loss. Her love, her talents, and her ambition were at once what made up her existence, and that is something that is rarely seen in other films that portray life with Alzheimer's. The juxtaposition, from a fun-loving Allie frolicking in the expansive sea to a woman trapped by her own mind, is a sobering reminder of the fragility of life. While in one's youth, it seems like there is so much left to do in the future, in the elderly stages, it might be harder to seize the moment.
When Noah sits down at the table opposite Allie to read to her, she simply sees a man that she doesn't really know, keeping her company with a heartfelt narrative. She doesn’t see everything he represents – her first love, her first breakup, and her hard-fought love story. When she says, “I think I’ve heard this before,” we see a glimmer of memory breaking through, it doesn't occur to her that the reason why that story is so familiar is that she lived it. The audience knows that this is actually her journey through clues sprinkled throughout the film. When observing the cover of the notebook that Noah is reading from, there is a phrase saying, "Read this to me & I’ll come back to you," inscribed under the title, “The Story of Our Lives.” By putting two and two together, viewers understand that the series of events that are presented through flashbacks are actually memories that Noah still holds onto and that Allie has unfortunately forgotten about because of her illness.
While forgetting her one true love may seem the worst fate, we soon find out it gets worse, as she has children, who are now all grown up. On a visit to see the mother who no longer knows them, they introduce themselves as Duke’s children to not confuse her further. Some of them also have kids of their own, which means that Allie isn't aware of her own grandchildren either. Watching this scene unfold is heartbreaking because it is noticeable that her adult children visit her regularly and must constantly pretend that they are meeting with her for the first time so that Allie doesn't get overwhelmed. It is also sad to see that in losing one parent, they have lost another since Noah lives in the facility with her, reading the notebook in the hopes that she will remember the life that they had as a couple.
One of the film's most upsetting scenes comes when Allie remembers Noah. “It was us!” she tearfully exclaims over a candlelit dinner. Sweeping Allie up in a strong embrace, he tells her they may only have five minutes together before she forgets again. It is in this scene that we see why Noah hasn’t given up the fight. He is living for these small yet magical moments when she remembers him . His determination on a daily basis is to do what he can for her to be her old self again, even if it is for a short amount of time. Different from the other people roaming around the halls of the senior home, Noah had a lifetime's worth of romance and partnership with the woman that he loved, and being without her just didn't seem to be an option for him . Although she is only aware of who he is for about five minutes, it is enough for them to go back to the couple they once were, dancing and holding onto each other tenderly.
Shortly after Allie's memory comes back, she forgets about him, and, in doing so, she fears that the stranger by her side isn't a good person . It is because of her inability to remember that things soon turn sour when she snaps at him for calling her darling. It’s not long before the staff comes rushing in to restrain the agitated Allie while Noah weeps at the sight of his loved one panicking about being with him. If an audience member hasn't shed a tear through the film, this moment will surely lead to a sob.
Although The Notebook received some criticism for its highly romanticized vision of dementia and caregiving, it still carries with it an important message about the power of unconditional love and unwavering hope . It shows a man giving his life to another in the purest of ways and a woman who lived a full life and gave her love freely. And, although she may not remember it, she provided beautiful memories for others in her presence, and at the end of the day, perhaps that’s what counts most.
The Notebook is available to rent on Prime Video in the US.

Some of what many would consider to be the greatest movies of all time are also those based on classic and beloved novels . And while there are folks out there who think you don’t need to read the book after watching the movie, there are dozens of examples that prove otherwise.
From Academy Award-winning dramas to a few landmark fantasy films and just about everything in between, here are 32 books that you might still want to read after you watch the movie. There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s start strolling through this library of great titles…
Steven Spielberg ’s Jurassic Park and the Michael Crichton book on which it was based are both cultural touchstones in their respective worlds. And while they share the basic concept of a disaster falling upon an amusement park full of cloned dinosaurs, there are some key differences that make reading the book an entirely different experience.
Stephen King is no fan of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining , the 1980 adaptation of his horror novel of the same name. Kubrick’s version makes all kinds of changes when it comes to the characters (played by Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duval, and Danny Lloyd) and the overall departure of his original intentions.
Even though there were eight Harry Potter movies ( The Deathly Hallows was split in two) that were all at least two hours long, a lot of material was cut when adapting J.K. Rowling ’s popular fantasy books. While we wait for the upcoming Harry Potter series on Max, now would be a great time to go back and read all the novels.
Denis Villeneuve 's 2021 adaptation of Dune ( the second half is due in March 2024 ) gets a lot of things right when it comes to adapting Frank Herbert’s influential sci-fi epic, but like other movies based on fantasy novels, there’s a lot left on the page. This classic, 896-page epic won't be a quick read but it's a classic.
Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is considered one of the great American novels, and it's a must-read (if you haven’t already) even after watching the 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck. The narration by Scout throughout Lee’s book adds an incredible quality and pacing to the story, a childlike wonder that isn't quite captured in the screen version.

L. Frank Baum’s children’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is totally worth reading, especially if you’ve seen the 1939 film adaptation. And while both share similar story components, the original text is full of so much more, including a longer stay in Oz, an army of mice saving Dorothy and company from the poppy field, and very different versions of those well-known characters.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings novels, some of the best literary experiences of all time, were famously turned into two trilogies by Peter Jackson . And while the movies are awesome in just about every possible way, Tolkien’s original books include so much more story. No extended version could contain all of this.
Christopher Nolan ’s Oppenheimer stands a good chance of winning a ton of awards, and rightfully so. But if you want to go back and read more about J. Robert Oppenheimer, his life, and role in the creation of the Atomic bomb, American Prometheus , Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin’s 700-page biography is going to fill in a lot of the blanks.
Alice Walker’s The Color Purple is a Pultizer Prize-winning novel that should be read at least once in your life. Yeah, it was turned into a decorated movie adapted by Steven Spielberg (with a musical-based version coming out in December 2023), but Walker’s rich text and plot threads add so much to the story.
It’s hard to imagine a movie adaptation being less like the source material than 2013’s World War Z . Unlike the movie, which focuses on one character experiencing Hell on Earth, Max Brooks’ novel is set up like an oral history with each chapter focusing on a different, and sometimes, terrifying event, narrated by various characters.
Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption has been the highest-rated movie on IMDb for a very long time, and is considered one of the top-tier Stephen King adaptations. Interestingly enough, the 1994 movie starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman is based not on a novel, but a 127-page novella, originally included in the book Different Seasons .
Stephen King’s It , all 1,138 pages of it, tells the fascinating and frightening story of a group of kids (later adults) teaming up to defeat a demonic entity multiple times throughout their lives. The 1990 miniseries, and a pair of theatrical releases that followed years later, only touches on part of King’s epic, and the full story must be explored.
Steven Spielberg’s 2018 adaptation of Ready Player One is fun and all, but it’s an almost completely different experience when compared to Ernest Cline’s original novel. There are more than a dozen major differences ranging from minor changes to massive reimaginings of key sequences.
If you got a kick out of the blend of comedy, drama, and intense sci-fi action in Ridley Scott’s The Martian , then Andy Weir’s novel of the same name is going to be something to check out. It has the same tone but more of it.
All You Need is Kill was later turned into Edge of Tomorrow (also known as Live Die Repeat ) with Doug Liman taking on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel. There were all kinds of changes made for adaptation ranging from its characters and story to how the ending plays out .
Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower , which is based on his book of the same name, is a wonderful adaptation that mostly sticks to the source material. However, there are enough changes to make reading the coming-of-age novel worth a read, specifically its epistolary presentation.
Forrest Gump the movie and book are two completely different beasts, so much so that watching and reading each version is an entirely different experience. Nearly every aspect of the story was changed in some way when being adapted into an Oscar-winning film, including Forrest’s personality and its ending. Forrest even goes to space in the book, which never happened in the movie.
With so many different adaptations of Pride & Prejudice over the years, sometimes it’s fun to go back and read Jane Austen’s original novel to see how each version sticks, or diverts, from the source material.
Though I Am Legend the book and movie follow an almost identical path through the majority of their respective stories, the 2008 film adaptation starring Will Smith makes a drastic change to Richard Matheson’s original novella with its ending. We won’t ruin it for the uninitiated, but it completely changes how you see Dr. Robert Neville.
Stanley Kubrick and author Arthur C. Clarke shared credit on the 2001: A Space Odyssey screenplay, which Clarke later turned into a novelization. In addition to some shifts in the tone and style, the novel also makes the main portion of the story a mission to Jupiter opposed to Saturn as seen in the classic sci-fi epic .
We could write a whole article about how David Fincher’s 2014 adaptation of Gone Girl differs from Gillian Flynn’s novel. In fact, the entire third act was rewritten by the acclaimed author for the movie starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book, The Accidental Billionaires , which was later adapted by Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher as The Social Network , details the founding and early days of Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. If you’re looking for a more detailed (as surprising as that may be) look at the social media giant, this book will do the trick.
Some would say The Hunger Games is a better movie than book , but the only way to know for sure is by reading Suzanne Collins’ 2008 young adult dystopian novel and its various sequels (and prequel).
In 1967, Richard Brooks adapted Truman Capote’s 1966 true crime thriller, In Cold Blood , a painstakingly crafted breakdown of a quadruple-murder and the two men who carried out the senseless act of violence. Capote’s words just fly off the page, especially in the tense and foreboding opening chapter.
Fight Club the movie and book have the same basic premise: a nameless narrator befriends the man he’s always dreamed of being, starts an underground combat group, and then things get out of hand. However, if you want to see characters and situations not covered in David Fincher’s movie, as well as a different ending, check out Chuck Palahniuk’s novel.
There have been a total of seven adaptations of Louisa May Alcott’s 19th-century coming-of-age novel, Little Women , each making minor changes of their own over time. If you’ve seen one, two, or all of them, you should probably read the book to see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same.
The Coen brothers’ Academy Award-winning adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s No Country for Old Men is one of the best films of the 21st century, but the book is also more than worthy of a read. It’s sparse, it’s violent, and features a lot more of Tommy Lee Jones’ character as he provides the narration throughout.
After making your friends watch American Psycho , why not have a book club with Bret Easton Ellis’ 1991 novel of the same name. Surprisingly enough, Mary Herron’s 2000 adaptation is a toned down version of Patrick Bateman’s descent into madness, and cuts back a lot of the central character's outlook on life and other social groups.
Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting , which was later adapted into a film of the same name by Danny Boyle, is more of a series of short stories than the film starring Ewan McGregor. The book is also written in the Scottish dialect. While the text can sometimes be a challenge, it's never enough to take away from this story that is at times hilarious and other times heartbreaking.
Danny DeVito did an outstanding job bringing Roald Dahl’s Matilda to life back in 1996, but this doesn’t mean it’s a 100% faithful adaptation. This is a good reason to go back and read the timeless children’s book, as it’s similar but different, familiar yet fresh. There are also a number of changes in the 2022 musical inspired by the book, meaning fans of the Netflix movie should check out the book if they haven’t already.
Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been adapted for screen and stage numerous times, but it’s never too late to go back and read the fantastical and whimsical novel. It’s fun to see how Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Tim Burton’s more faithful 2005 adaptation compare to this fun children’s book with all its bad eggs and imaginative treats.
William Peter Blatty wrote both the novel and film versions of The Exorcist , but this doesn’t mean they are entirely the same. The book, which came out only two years before William Friedkin turned it into a movie , is surprisingly even darker, more sinister, and more graphic. On top of that, there are also numerous minor differences throughout its story, so much so that reading it is a fresh experience.
With a whole slew of upcoming book-to-screen adaptations coming to theaters (and streaming services) in the coming months, you can expect to see some major changes to this list in the near future.
Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
