I enjoy forgetting. After 50 books a year for a couple decades, if I remembered everything that sounds exhausting

I'm the other way, am 61 and a prodigious reader from school age but I often wonder why bother ? I can't remember the book i read in January, let alone 5, 10 or 40 years ago, it becomes a form of brain rot I think?

I'm thinking of picking like 50 books and reading and rereading ad infinitum until i really understand them, so far I have not been brave enough to commit haha
