I read it, as in my eyes moved over the words, but I don't retain any info.
On Ritalin/Elvanse, I read just as much, but remember a bit more. Maybe a whole 5 pages worth!

I know what you mean, this is very tricky to discuss.
I guess normal people simply say the book was boring, when they don't recall anything.
I rarely know if it's the text's fault (some books are indeed boring and poorly edited), or I simply do not have any drop of hyperfocus left on this day.
But usually I remember much more, for a week or so. Then it slowly degrades, but I still remember what I read and where, more or less, for up to several years.
This ratio 5/500 pages sounds very challenging. Actually it seems like either the book was terribly boring, or you have very high anxiety.
