I Lost My Place!

This happens to me all the time:

I'm reading.  I get distracted by something.  I look away from the book without noting where I'm leaving off.  A few minutes later I come back to the book and start reading again.

"Nope, I don't remember that part," I say to myself.  So I back up a few paragraphs.  "Read that, read that, read that."  I skip forward.

As it turns out, the place where I picked up reading was actually exactly where I left off, even though I had made no conscious effort to note the spot.

Is that weird?  Does that happen to anyone else?
