Don't even have to do that, sempai. I'm staying with a friend's couch and working a new job and supporting my parents and going to visit them on the weekends and I thought I'd hardly have time to read now. But I read on my ten-minute train ride, at lunch, sometimes I snag a few longer sittings in the evenings, and whenever I'm lucky enough to have extended periods in a calm spot. I've plowed through a ton of books.

depends. if it's philosophy i find compelling, yes. if it's something i don't like or don't find compelling, i normally don't try to remember much more than the basic outline of the material/plot. for fiction, i typically remember the atmosphere/aesthetic more than the plot or themes. honestly, it depends what it was and how good i thought it was

no, you read because you feel like it makes you a better person, and since it's enjoyable you don't have to actually do much to get that dopamine kick
unless you genuinely believe yourself to be an awful person and are trying to improve, but that doesn't happen ever

if by experiencing some human condition the author is trying to convey and having that memory which might help me decide things in the future, i do think it makes me a better person
