When you read, how much do you actually specifically remember?

Rote memorization is a thing my man. It works. Most people have to do things more than once, or think things more than once.

I remember important points, then go back and read again years later.

Yeah, I suppose since I'm reading for pleasure I don't need to worry about whether or not I've memorized things, it just makes me feel like a brainlet.

Same thing happens to me if I read the newspaper, I'll read like 15 articles and wouldn't be able to tell you what most of them were about 5 minutes later
