Re:Ask HN: How do you remember what you have read in a book? by VoodooJuJu on Wednesday October 09, 2024 @08:49AM (#41787363)

You get out of books what you put into them. If you can't remember what you've read, it's because you didn't work to remember it (and that's okay). This quote is just cope for people to passively consume and feel good about it.
