How do you keep track of fiction book characters if they keep

I just sort of let it wash over me and make connections later if they're made clearer.

If you can't keep 140+ characters in your head simultaneously, you are a pleb. You did it at six years old with pokemon, why can't you now? Six year old would laugh at your decrepit memory now.

What if I'm trying to read classics like Lord of the Flies and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory?

why would you even privilege the temporal order of plot? why is the lord of the flies better read from the first page to the last, instead of last to first, or in a random order?

This Anon has the right idea. I also like to read books upside down or hire a homeless person to run away with the book and shout random words of it to me while I chase him with a net and if I catch him he has to recite three pages of Finnegans Wake to me before he's allowed to start running again.

Books also have pictures, but you are the one responsible for transposing and fixating them into your mind, since they are not given to you as in a movie.
Imagination and memory are basically the same mental process, as Aristotle stated.
You must be able to reproduce the characters imaginarily as if they were people that you know personally, so they can appear to you mentally at your call. If you just read their names as you go, they'll be well gone after two or three pages.
