hasn't for me dude

Yes. Reading is a skill that improves as you do it more. Don't read books that are too complicated for you either, that will just make you give up

Depends. You liked the book?
With time you can hone your tastes as you expand your tastes. Sounds contradictory, I know, but it’ll make sense later. You’ll get the hang of it as go along

I felt the same with Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces. I had to go back and read whole pages a second time. You retain it in some ways. But that’s why I keep a bookcase
Art books too

Did you take notes? If so, did you upload the notes into the computer to save them for later?

So much this. Handwriting notes while you read is the best way to make your brain interact with the text.
