Highly recommend the book about him by Luria. Fascinating to see how his amazing gifts caused him problems. He really struggled to synthesize and summarize things and see the big picture, bottom line; he would get bogged down in details. Also, it was exhausting for him to read anything because it would flood his mind with distracting images and sensations since he would automatically memorize everything. I wonder how many calories he burned a day just from thinking so much.
