/lit/ - Literature

I read these three books over the past two weeks. It was my intention to write a bit during and after reading to compare my thoughts on each and I didn't do anything. Now, having just finished Golden Pavilion today, I feel like it and Mask are already slipping from my memory due to how dense they are with rumination and ideas of self and beauty.

I'm wondering if part of my seemingly poor memory is due to rarely taking time after reading, or time in general, to be alone with my thoughts. I'm always jumping from book, to phone, to computer, I never give myself time to think on anything. The times I am alone with my thoughts I find it very hard to focus, my mind is always racing with worry and anxiety.
