He began to undertake various forms of mental exercise in an effort to improve his memory which led him to engage in the practice of memorizing and reciting favorite and newly discovered poems, a practice that he combined with cycling in the Oakland hills. Gradually his collection of memorized verse grew to reach one hundred poems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroken into three parts, Miner first details his process for memorization, explaining in detail his methods and strategies.
