Improve Your Reading Retention With These Tips!!

I came across an article on Bustle's website titled, Improve Your Reading Retention With These 7 Tips And Tricks by Sadie Trombetta. In the article, Sadie Trombetta wrote the following: 

While there are some who can retain the details of entire books, stories, and poems, most people have a hard time remembering everything they read. The exact amount each person forgets varies, but studies show that the forgetting curve, as researchers call it, is the most extreme within the first 24 hours. That means, unless you actively work to remember what you’ve read, chances are you’ll forget many of the plot points, characters, and quotes within a single day, after which you’ll forget more and more as more time passes.

Most of the tips seemed like obvious ones... But there were a couple of surprising tips in the article.
