Book tune

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A book tune[1][2][3][4][5] is a summary of a book in song format, which acts as a mnemonic device, to help readers remember what they've read. The concept was first conceived by Jonathan Sauer and created in collaboration with Abdominal.[6]

Book tunes have been created for several books including The How of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky[7] and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.[8]
