Why read books if we can’t remember what’s in them...
I don't relate at all - I believe I remember the content of every book I've ever read, and the main takeaways of it.

What about names? I cannot remember the names of main characters from a book I read last week.

I often can't even remember the names from the previous chapter.

I remember no names at all from most books. I don't think of it as important, I guess. I also have no idea what most book characters look like, I generally ignore the author's descriptions in my memory.
