I can usually read a lot of information about a thing for a long time (even repeatable times) and not remember anything about the subject in mind for a while (usually in very literal style). I am really not good at memorizing in the ordinary term of the word and especially not details. Then again; details where never my thing anyway... however; I usually notice that I remember the most essential if I come across it.
However -- an interesting thing perhaps is that I usually read about something obscure (other than what I've read from which I should have remembered, not that literate perhaps) and then I can get a flash of understanding about the last subject / text from the obscure stuff instead... however; I notice that the structure of the obscure text (aesthetics?) also is a large determiner on how I understood the last text / subject. If I have to read something it sometimes have to be pleasant to read in order to understand it more better. Weird isn't it? So how about you?
