A book tune is a summary of a book in song format, acting as a mnemonic device to help readers remember what they have read.[1][2][3][4][5] The concept was first conceived in 2010 by entrepreneur Jonathan Sauer and created in collaboration with rapper 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]
