I can't remember books I've read

I only remember details or some names from time to time but never the plot or sometimes the endings.

I forgot to mention I've got ADHD.

Comedy gold thread

I know what you mean. There is a thread up for Catcher in the Rye and I cant remember a damn thing about it other than Holden getting threatened by a pimp

You should just read the online summarys and make your life a little easier.

I have this problem too, I thought I was just a stupid dumb scum. Could this mean I also have ADHD?

that's a completely normal thing op

But I like reading...

Lemme give you an example:
Only recently I’ve read No longer human and the things I remember are:

Dazai is sad, he was bitchy about a tiger mask his dad wanted to buy him but he didn’t and he wrote it in his notebook, he was molested by servants, he befriended someone in high school, he played the joker all the time. And he started drinking with some failed artist, he used hookers, then he got into an affair and convinced the girl to commit suicide with him, but he survived. I think he skipped school a lot because he was sick but then came back and aced the classes.
And there was this one guy fatfish, who took him in and then Dazai became an emo, and kept drinking. He met another girl which didn’t belive him when he said he didn’t want to drink, and he promised her to marry him, afterwards, she made him promise they’d marry if he stopped drinking.
Oh, and there was another woman he got married to, who had a child. And he went to a pawnshop and gave away her clothes and he left her again.
He made money by drawing bad comics and softcore porn. He wanted to become a painter but he failed. He liked some dumb abstract painter. Also Karl Marx and communism was there and he became the leader for it.
Oh and the magazines at which his wife( the one with a child) were the ones he published at, then he switched to cheaper ones. And he was crying during a scene when he was drawing something.
The cops came and interogated him with the suicide, I forgot about that detail, and they were understanding about the entire ordeal, if I remember correctly. There was alose, this time Dazai made that woman kiss the artist on the lips. He would’ve been happier with her.
And I think he found out his dad died before he could commit suicide. Hmm, his brother bought him a house and invited him in to say so he could take care of him there. Near the coast I think. But I can’t remember what happened afterwards.
That’s about it.

Shut up you d*cking bitch

Stop watching porn

You're suppose to read philosophy and psychology before you can begin understanding why you forget about the things you read in books. Your cognitive faculties are either cum brained or you don't have the intellectual tools to see the overall point of the books you're reading.

For example, the hobbit is about getting outside of your comfort zone, adventuring, and returning to your home town to share your accomplishments with your town's folk.

Harry Potter is about overcoming the circumstances of your birth, the stigma of being cursed (hated by minorities and the oligarchs), and to become something greater than life set out for you.

Game of Thrones is about the realities of maintaining power in a world where people will do anything they can to take it from you.

Sorry if I picked normie "nerd" books.

This. And study grammar.

OP. Serious advice. Read Mortimer J Adler’s How to Read a Book. It’s not perfect, but it will teach you the most important thing; the more ‘active’ you are when reading, the more you will absorb. If you don’t read it you will never join the conversation of literature.

>If you don’t read it you will never join the conversation of literature.
what the fuck do you mean!!? that's like saying if you don't read 12 Rules for Life you can't start living.

Same

Not OP, but how much it takes time to recover from porn?

You don’t know what you’re talking about. And apologizing for shit examples and misusing the word “nerd” (when in reality it should’ve been “psuedo-intellectual dorm room philosophizing faggot) doesn’t make them non shit examples.

I bet you haven’t read anything with legitimate merit.

about 30 minutes

>and to become something greater than life set out for you.
I can't see this in the books. Harry was an obnoxious kid all day long always blaming his fucking curse, he only is the protagonist because of it and he never achieved anything by hard work. Everything was handed to him and even then he even managed to fail.

That's the point of Harry Potter. The books are actually an existential criticism of the feminism movement, though probably unintentionally so.

I would like to know this as well.

What does porn have to do with this?

I feel you. Sometimes it has it's ups, for example if you want to reread a book. I was halfway in Lems Eden when I realized that I've read it before some years ago but didn't remember the ending so I could enjoy it twice. Now I have an Excel Sheet where I write down every book I read.

Excessive secretion of serotonin and dopamine can condition your brain for instant gratification

>tfw never watch porn but still have the same problem as OP
I have ADHD too

It's meaningless knowledge anyway.

How long does it take to be deconditioned?

It's actually the opposite. Insufficient secretion of serotonin and dopamine is what causes people to seek out instant gratification, because they are already deprived of these chemicals that people require to feel a sense of well-being. Though bombarding your brain with an excess of dopamine through the usage of drugs can force it to adapt to that level of dopamine over time, requiring more eventually to feel the same effects.

I don't know nigga, but nofap is stupid. Just cut the porn.

read as like you would teach somebody what you are reading
sometimes it takes me more than 10 minutes to read one page but worth it

either accept it or take notes

I've got ADHD and I can remember the plot almost every book i've read and have an all round real good memory(although lose focus like a tard and have to re-read sentence sometimes). I think you're just an idiot

Learn to read more actively. Apply more awareness. Think the written thought as if it were your own. Feel the writing with empathy. Take notes. Read "How To Read a Book" by Mortimer Adler if you want to, his instructions are directed for nonfiction reading but he brings up ideas that are also useful for fiction, and addresses fiction reading for a short segment of the book.

>You should just read the online summarys and make your life a little easier.
Is this posted by the same guy who arrogantly argues with people as if he understood the book, yet shows clear flaws in his reading comprehension? If this isn't bait, don't be this person. You look retarded to anybody who has read and understood the book.

Porn addiction recovery usually takes a solid 60-90 day span, but it really requires you just stay off of it forever. During this time, jerk off to you imagination to cum and make the craving go away. This will require willpower, but after around 2 weeks you should feel weird fetishes start to fade. This, combined with regular exercise and good diet, will make you feel more focused and energized

>During this time, jerk off to you imagination to cum and make the craving go away
But your imagination will naturally conjure up the scenes you remember from porn. I don't really see how this helps.

Never

Based, refrain from the term normie and nerd. Don’t stoop to the cliche linguistics used by pompous cunts who have not yet achieved anything greatly on an intellectual level but decide to come on here and autistic young rant

Cut the weed, my guy.

Bump

Try thinking about what you're reading. Like connect it to what you know already. Make a map in your brain.

>Make a map in your brain.
Like a Map of Meaning?

I have the same problem.
They say accutane destroys your frontal lobe. Which is where things like personality and memory are stored. Feel like I might be retarded because of those drugs.

TL;DR

agreed, I haven't watched porn in like 8 months.
Gotta keep that plasticity...

My life hasn't been the same since reading that book. I map everything out nowadays.
