I'm quite new to reading (outside of videoaudiobooks and funko pops). I realize I'm incapable of making new memories of any kind. I'm kind of like that guy in the Christopher Nolan movie (I forget what it's called). Is this normal?

Do you find that your memory gets better over time? Is it possible my memory is improving and I'm just forgetting how bad it was? I find it interesting that I don't have much trouble forgetting the contents of TV shows/movies, but the opposite is true for books. Wait, what am I even saying here?

I try not to be a massive dumbass with an undiagnosed brain disorder, but I find that makes reading a chore.
