if you're already in, there's no hope, sorry.

Anon. You don't have to remember the past 5 minutes of a book, you just need to be able to go with the flow of thought. If you can follow the train of thought you are smarter than 70% of lit

Do you have brain damage just read and remember

HOW

wow anon if you really have this much of a problem memorizing (are you depressed or do you have some other sort of mental illness?) then you better try exercises for your short term memory. just write down a set of 30 words,
it may sound corny af but actually FEELING what you're reading helps a lot, just associate every sentence with a certain state of mind it gives you and you will find memorizing way easier.

also what this anon has said. go with the flow, let yourself carried and don't stumble upon any detail you may not have remembered: chances are it will be revealed to you many times after that.
i know this is pretty bad advice but doing this little is better than nothing

Its biological, depressed people, stupid people, hyperactive or attention deficit people and crazy people are defective and can't be saved. They'd be euthanized or aborted in a better world

Practice by reading books that are easy to follow. Don't be afraid to reread sections if you get lost.

I use to have this problem when i was younger after every page just stop and think about what you read. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-I-quickly-forget-what-I-read

It going to be okay OP, I have the same problem if I take too long of a hiatus from reading. Unfortunately modern over stimulation has got our attention spans fucked so you have to develop techniques to get back into critically thinking as you read.

Like the other anons have already said, set it down to think about what you just read and for me the method of rereading a section can be really helpful. Before you know it you'll be reading chunks without losing what you just read.

Good luck and happy reading!
