The more I try to read nonfiction, the more I understand that the problem isn’t that I don’t find it *interesting,* but that I struggle to follow and retain information that isn’t a story. I’m not sure what to do with this knowledge, but I am finally beginning to put it in words, so that’s something

Handwritten notes help, but can get exhausting fast.
So like I love Empire of Style and I could tell you the main argument, but zero facts. (If I wanted to use it for fic reference I'd have to reread)
Weirdly I like I like material culture history because it has less names and dates, but its also less like a story
I find that kind is still quite compelling to me.
