INTRODUCTION

Today we live in an era where knowledge is crucial for someone

to succeed. Reading and memory are two main component in
gaining knowledge.
Reading has a beneficial effect on the mind of a reader. No
doubt that with the habit of reading the store of knowledge of
a person will expand. It is even possible that reading certain
books can have deeper impact on the thoughts of the reader
than other sources of learning.
Memory on the other hand is a process of remembering what
has been learned or experienced. It is not a "thing" or an object
where it can be touch. This process of remembering occurs
throughout human's brain whereby the memory itself are
created, stored and recalled.
