Here is the interesting thing about reading books, I once thought reading books and remembering everything about the text is the goal; However over time I’ve learned there is value in having read the book, understanding the material and then you know where to reference the information should you need it in the future.
It's very useful to have enough exposure to things to be able to tell generally what's going on and to know what you need to look up.
