Best study help and speed reading books/websites

Tonight I saw a program on the Discovery Channel called Everything You Need to Know. The topic tonight was on the brain and they showed this guy who could memorize stuff in a very short time. That got me thinking that it should be possible for me (or anyone else) to improve memorization.

So I was wondering if anyone here knew of any good books/websites on speed reading, memorization techniques, and improving note taking?
