Comment on You got me

To be fair, I’ve not memorised too many cooking instructions, but I can quote about half of “Monty Python’s Holy Grail” with reasonable accuracy, or tell you in great detail a number of stories of “what me and my friends got up to” when I was younger, or give you plot summaries and occasional quotes from half of the episodes of Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Star Trek TNG etc, and lyrics to hundreds of songs from the 1980s and 1990s… and I’m not exactly particularly talented in that area. It’s not a massive stretch to think someone could fairly easily memorise and story-tell one fairly long book.
Dude, came here to say the same thing about the same movie! I’ve been able to pretty much recite Holy Grail (as you say, with “reasonable accuracy") since college. I can hear three notes from some random song I last heard a decade ago and can probably still name it. But I was in my 30s before I felt comfortable throwing away the Kraft mac and cheese box before I was finished making it.
