I have read several books on memonics including a couple of Loraynes. My personal favorite is "How to pass exams" by Dominic O'Brien. It's actually not about passing exams as much as general memory strategy.

Most of these guys have the same ideas, but slightly different layout. Your ability to remember things will go trough the roof if you practise it. I have used it mainly with names and numbers. It takes time to learn the system, but its well worth the time.
