How many books can a person read and retain until he starts to forget previous information he deems important? Does long-term memory have a limit or is it infinite? Can you measure this capacity?
>>
it depends on how big your dick is

depends on how often you try to recall what it was in those books
>>
>>9334946
I wouldn't worry about it. Long before your memory overflows, you'll realize that most books aren't worth remembering.
>>
>>9334946
Man I can barely remember what I read 3 sentences ago. I should probably stop smoking weed and drinking alcohol.
>>
>>9334946
I haven't read that many books, but from what I've experienced, you don't remember the information but the value and morals behind it.

TL;DR: In other words the philosophy/meaning of the book.

This, memory is infinite but over time connections break down unless you remember every once in a while

>Retaining every word in a book
It's about what you 'learn' from it and how you store it.
>My knowledge of soft tissues is stored close to my masturbation techniques.

Do more. It's like a horseshoe, you will forget so much that you will forget how to forget. Unless you want to forget, in which case sorry I guess.
>>
>>9335032
You also still remember important/masterful passages from books. Like, I can still remember Heathcliff's soliloquy after Cathy's death word for word, and the teacup passage from In Search of Lost Time, for example.
>>
>>9334946
Around 3.5
>>
>>9335123
Yea, you're right.

And some books are for studying and making structures between certain subjects.

Read before you type.
