Reading and Remembering

Abstract

The ability to write books is only rarely accompanied by exceptional powers of remembering the written word, either one's own or that of other authors, nor is it always linked with the gift of swift yet thorough reading of books and printed matter generally. But it is hardly surprising that the great memorisers and the phenomenal readers have nearly all been connected with the world of letters.
