I can't be the only one here that has this constant worry when reading, that I don't understand either the book, or the meaning of the book.
For example, recently I finished two books. For whom the bells toll, and the catcher in the rye. Hemingways book was alright, when I finished it I felt kinda confused. Was the moral of the book self-sacrifice, duty over love, or doing evil for the greater good? All of them, none of them? As for the Catcher in the Rye, I found it to be a quite cozy commentary on teenager angst.
Anyways, I guess I'm asking is if I'm just retarded or I'm missing something.

Neither, you're just scared that you missed something. Hint: you didn't, they are fairly straightforward books with pretty obvious themes, and I bet that with further elaboration you'd prove to us that you understand them.
Reading should be a pleasure first and foremost, don't forget that.
