Why are you reading those books: are they required for school/work, or are they books that you've been told are classics/good for you/etc.?
As other people said, take notes. If feasible, try to summarize the essential points of a chapter in your own words.
If you are reading these books more out of personal enrichment and a desire for enjoyment, try not to get too bogged down in note-taking.
I do suggest making a list of characters if you are reading fiction. This helped me enormously when I read War and Peace.
