Is Harold Bloom an outlier? Why can't I remember what I've read let alone recite anything?
>Pic, what's Hendrix reading?
Think about what you read as you read it. Make little annotations next to what you're reading or in a small notebook. Read things you're really interested in and are currently thinking about, something that relates to your day to day life, to your emotional struggles.

So that you can enjoy re-readings. It is your gift, anon.
I remember the really good ones. I haven't read any Dostoyevsky in a decade and The Brothers Karamazov could not be any clearer in my mind.
I read Wind-Up Bird Chronicle in January and hardly remember anything except the main character's cat's (and brother in law's) name Noboru Wataya... shit book by the way.
