Same here. I can remember anything I choose to. Back in 7th or 8th grade, our task was to memorize the basics of the Dewey Decimal System, the 500s are science, etc. I never got around to it. The next day in class, the teacher started calling on people to stand up and tell what each group was. I just sat there hoping I wouldn't be called for a while. When the teacher got to me, I had it down cold.
I breezed through high school and checked out a new book from the library almost every single day the whole four years. Science fiction, mysteries, and all kinds of non-fiction, especially science and math.
