Learning from a book without having a real life problem I want to solve with this learning is really hard for me. If I have a problem I want to solve and use a book to find a path to the solution within it's pages, learning from the book is no problem at all.

If I have no real life problem to solve and only read the book because I like the topic or want to learn from it for my future I only remember the broad concepts. But nevertheless, at least you know what's in that book and if you encounter a problem in the future you can revisit the book again.
