Interesting point. A followup question that I was thinking of asking was how many people find that they read a book, then two months later can't remember anything that happened in the book. I can vividly remember scenes from 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Black Boy, Uncle Tom's Cabin, etc, but other books that I read just recently completely escape me.
