Absolutely, some more than others. I find that I tend to remember details more when something important in my life is happening at the time of reading, or bits that really left an impression on myself.
Guards! Guards! Will forever be ingrained into my memory for I read it while traveling through Europe for a month, or Dark Matter because I read it in the hospital waiting for my son to be born. Yet I barely remember a thing from American Gods and I couldn’t even tell you the year I read it.
