I sometimes wonder if reading all these books is worth it, given I seem to remember so little from them.<p>Other than rereading what do you do to retain knowledge from books you value?
I think most reader have this problem. The problem is that most of us just read and hope the information sticks. The trick is to not just read but to immediately recall and reflect on what you read. You also need to write down a summary of what you read. Yes, this will slow down the amount of books you read but you will retain much more.
