I am currently reading a book called "The Housekeeper and the Professor" of Yoko Ogawa. I haven't finished it, but I find it quite interesting. It's the story of a housekeeper and a professor of mathematics who can remember new memories only for 80 minutes. Here is a link to the relevant wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Housekeeper_and_the_Profess... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Housekeeper_and_the_Professor)
