When I was a boy, I came to the realization that I could not hope to remember everything I've read.

This was most unfortunate.

So I started taking notes. Early on in the books themselves, but after I became an adult and was forced to acqurie books using my own capitial I started using notepads. I'll jot down qoutes and page numbers and general thoughts.

Does anyone else do this or do I just have a shoddy memory?
