Top highlights from The Housekeeper and the Professor
"The Professor's memory was like a sieve, retaining some things and letting others slip through. He could remember the names of all the prime numbers up to 10,000, but he couldn't remember what he had eaten for breakfast that morning. He could recite the mathematical definition of a black hole, but he couldn't remember his own son's name."
