I understand comlpletely. Yes please tell us a little more. I can relate because the same thing happenz to me. I had a teacher who told me that it may just be because i dont read enough. Because really i dont read at all. Thats part of my problem and she was right. But as the previous comment says the reason for this is probably because your mind is preocupied with other thoughts. I mean sometimes when i do read, i pay attention to the story but depending on how i am feeling or on my mind flow, then i make myself forget. I feel like i have a bad memory soemtimes but i try not to get those negative thoughts stuck in my head. Do you read often?

Tell us a little bit more.  Are you going through a period of stress and anxiety right now.  In my experience, you can defintely not focus on what you are reading because your mind is too preoccupied with other thoughts.
