Book tune explained

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]
