Aspiring memoirists who worry that writing their autobiography will give them carpal tunnel syndrome now have a resource that can save them from hand cramps and wasted paper. "Listography: Your Life in Lists" is a guided journal that allows users to detail their life, firsts and lasts, favorites and least favorites, in list form.

Created by Lisa Nola, "Listography" pairs inquisitive prompts with hilarious illustrations by Nathaniel Russell that will stimulate the imagination. For example, a drawing of a third nipple follows directions to, "List things most people probably don't know about you." "List the pets you've had and their names" is accompanied a sketch of an earthworm and the words "R.I.P. Frankie."
