I have 2 reading styles - work and pleasure. Work is a paper page a minute, and when I am done, I can recall footnotes in the text, for years. I developed this manner of reading in law school, and as a tax lawyer, I continue reading this way for content.

Pleasure reading is a Harlequin romance a day, and the next day, I cannot recall what I read. I read about an hour a day for my commute, and an hour at night to get ready for bed.

Same with movies. My husband can remember the movies we saw when we were dating. I might remember the titles, but not the plot.

I always said this would help me when I was old and was eating dog food (a particular fear of mine). At least for reading, I can just reread the books I purchased when I was working.
