Your brain encodes information into long term memory if it thinks the information will be of use later. This process is largely subconscious. So, try doing it the manual way by reading with purpose and intent to do something, anything, with the information you’re taking in. See if that helps.

looking back, some of the books I read that I was doing so with a purpose are the ones I remember the most. I read a book a few years ago for a school project and I still remember almost everything that happened in it. ill definitely try to read with intent more. thank you so much for the advice!
