“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” 

It's good to underline and make notes, but often one remembers more of the book than one thinks. It goes into the subconscious. Often when you have a thought, you rediscover it in something that you've read and the thought reproduces itself in your head as new with maybe some things add on to it.

Wow I have that book, some neighbor died long time ago and her daughter gave us her book collection bec my sister reads a lot, but it's rotting in some library that I have at the basement. Maybe I should read it now.

It's worth reading so far, although if one has never read anything by Mann before, the best introduction to his style would be one of his earlier books, especially "Tonio Kröger", "Death In Venice" or even "Buddenbrooks". But I don't want to discourage you. Check it out.

unless you are trying to say you can thank the books you had read for growing into a fat self-aggrandizing leech with 0 capital of any kind whatsoever
