The 1% that you remember is the reason to read it
Saw this somewhere recently. “You are what you read the same way you are what you eat.” You don’t remember what you eat last week, but it is part of you. The same way you may not remember what you read, but the knowledge will enters your brain and form the mind that you have.
I think I remember little bits of it, even subconsciously. If I keep reading similar books often the messaging is similar and it builds up I’m like this with history books too. I’ll read 3-4 different books on same era and i find I somehow just “learn” it. I don’t remember all the details but something is better than nothing
You remember concepts so when you come across that problem in the future, you know where to go back to.
try the Feynman technique for note taking if you really want to remember
the main reason is to be able to pattern match with new problems don’t need to know the tiny implementation details until actually necessary, just the highlevel overview of knowing it exists and is a valid approach

Based on this logic, what’s the point of readying anything at all? Reading is meaningless without application. You remember only when you apply things you have read.
When do u have opportunity to apply?
By building sample projects with what you have learned.
