I feel this issue isn't recall as much as usage. That is, you retain (via habit) what you put to use and continue to use.
I read mostly non-fiction. What most people would call business books. I read paper (not digital) and like to highlight. I don't retain a lot of details per se. That said, much of it isn't necessarily new. Often key points are reinforcement of concepts I'm already familiar with.
That said, I do want to start doing ten key points summaries. I see ten as being enough but not too much. To force myself into a box that's chunkable. I'll resign myself to the fact that eleven and beyond just weren't good enough.
