I just only mark down the stuff I read from the point I make an account.

You absorb and act upon the lessons conveyed by literature subconsciously. Even if you can't remember each book you've read word for word, it has left you with a moment, feeling, or sensation that encompasses the content.

If I could remember everything I've read, I'd be lord of the universe by now.

Yeah, this is why if you watch nothing but anime you'll write anime and if you read nothing but David Foster Wallace you'll write David Foster Wallace.
There's a reason why people end up 'discovering' that their work is suddenly really similar to this and that story they read. Because it is.

I can barely remember the book I've read before the one I'm currently reading, but every now and then I'll amaze myself by remembering some obscure fact when its useful. That makes it worth it.

That's so he can dig deep in the beaver but also have a beard, which makes him the epitome of manliness.
