>forget everything about said book
Anybody else have this problem? I was considering taking notes but doing this for fiction you're meant to enjoy just seems wrong.
I doubt you forget everything. You would just need engagement or some form of reference to trigger remembrance. Stop perpetuating this meme.

not a month but yes
Yes. But fiction is meant to be enjoyed, not necessarily remembered. Re-reading books after a few years is good practice, you'll notice different things and you'll be different yourself
there's nothing wrong with taking notes if you want to

Agree. Don't destroy the magic.

AHA!
AND THOSE BASTARDS CLAIMED THAT YOU CAN ACTIVE READ A FICTIONAL
DIE FICTION READING SCUM
I do have this problem. The only time I really care is when I discuss the book later and have an opinion formed on a handful of passages that stuck out to me when I read it, but then someone references one I forgot about, and my whole outlook on the book seems incomplete.
I do enjoy rereading books from a long time ago though, so I don't mind too much.
