Is it just reading more in an active matter? :p Or are there any good books out there/techniques. My retention from reading is horrid.

I think you have to comprehend something to retain it. If you don't comprehend something there is nothing to retain.

read alot. If you dont understand a word, reread the sentence. If you still dont understand it, look it up in a dictionary. Reread paragraph in full to make sure you fully understand the word and concept being written about.
