Do you read to remember or just for the moment?
For me personally – I've read a collection of Lovecraft stories four times now. I still can't remember most of the titles, and the ones I do remember, I can't connect to the right plot. But I genuinely enjoy the mental images and the emotions while reading. That's enough for me.
So my question is:
Do most people read to memorize details (plots, character names, authors) – or just for the fleeting, temporary experience?
Is it seen as shallow to treat books like quick entertainment rather than great art that you're supposed to remember forever?
Not talking about skipping pages or disrespecting the text. Just wondering where does your focus lie.
