I've read a lot but can scarcely remember anything about the books I've read. The same with movies.

I recall which books I liked. I like to think I've imbibed them into my minds DNA.

Do you recall narratives, characters, and plots?

Never visit a doctor OP!!!! A friend this week was telling me about someone they know who did, and now she'd been admitted to institutional care for early alzheimer's, and they won't let her out! And the more furious she gets only appears to confirm to psychiatrists the diagnosis.

I've had this failure to recall all my life.

I'm REALLY bad at remembering movies. My brother OTOH can recite whole dialogues from all his favorite films.

It's a blessing if you love some authors who've only written a few books. All is new again. And again. And again.

I don't think I've ever reread a book.

I have the same problem with movies. As you exit the theater your friends are jabbering on about, "oh remember that scene where...", "...that was so cool when she said...". I just stare at them blankly wondering what they are talking about despite having JUST seen the movie.

Could it be, OP, that you're getting OLD? Believe me, darlin', this HAPPENS. A lot.
