I have both your problems but I think in my case the difficulty resides in
remembering plots. I can remember passages of novels but eventhough I reread
constantly it's almost impossible for me to remember the story. It's not bad
memory, because I usually remember poems (even in English or in Italian) and
lyrics without much effort. Anyway, I don't mind this much.
"Confederacy of Dunces" is certainly one of the funniest books I've read, but
the one that made me laugh the most is "The Thought Gang", by Tibor Fischer. Has
anyone read that one?
Right now I'm reading "Trasumanar e organizzar", a book of poems by Pier Paolo
Pasolini and rereading "Dejemos hablar al viento" by Juan Carlos Onetti. They're
both fantastic, but they're not doing much to improve my attitude towards life.
