Well, that's partly because I only re-read stories that are well-written, and so enjoy them even when I do know the murderer -- but often enough I really have forgotten. I have an almost photographic memory sometimes (though maybe that's the wrong term, since while I do often picture the page as it looked, at other times I &quot;hear&quot; the words in my mind), but it seems rather random.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/184/6152007-02-26T10:18:49ZIrishOboe<p>It sure is! It is so easy to recognize a face. They are so unique and interesting and hold so much expression of personality, but what's in a name? Random syllables. I need to hear people and place names over and over before they stick. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but I'd rather be able to actually remember what I read!</p>
