snackrates already pointed this out in the end of like phaedrus or something: by the dog of egypt--if ya don't use it, ya lose it! So practice memorisin stuff and watch that sucker grow. I recc using poetry as you can recite it to yourself for your own amusement later on.

The mistake bugmen make is thinking memory is like computer data storage.
There is no hard limit to your capacity, and in fact your memory gets better the more you memorise.
Start by learning poetry by heart.

space repetition helps

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition

you can make a list of all the new or interesting vocab words you encounter in every book, and then review the list when you are done and reread the definitions

>your memory gets better the more you memorise.
indeed.

Ohpie, I find taking notes as I read considerably improves my recall and understanding of a work. Encoding bits of key information into outlandish imagery putting it into a memory palace, reviewed at intervals, pretty much guarantees lifelong recall.
