From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor
This week, we've got memory-related nonfiction, the end of a fictional era, a Harry Potter mystery, and burning curiosity about your favorite memoirs. Read on, readers!

Review: 'Moonwalking with Einstein' by Joshua Foer
Here's a fun one for fans of pop science: journalist Joshua Foer tackles the science of memory with a new book that's sure to please fans of Freakonomics and anything that Malcolm Gladwell's written. Full of fun-to-repeat anecdotes and some brain training exercises that might just work for you, it's a great poolside read.

Review: 'The Land of Painted Caves' by Jean M. Auel
This new book is the final segment of the 'Children of Earth' series that began with 'Clan of the Cave Bear,' which was written long enough ago that a good friend of mine from elementary school was named Ayla, after the main character. So it's taken awhile to write the whole series, is what I'm saying.

More Harry Potter Coming?
J.K. Rowling is a big tease, it seems. She's got herself a new website called Pottermore.com, and a "big announcement" is apparently coming down the pipeline in just a couple of days. Could it be? Dare we dream? I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

What's Your Favorite Memoir?
And now, we want to hear from you! If you love a great memoir as much as we do, pop on over and share your favorite, and see what other readers had to say.
