Abstract
The data represents the outcome of 1,005 interviews with as many interviewees in Croatia, conducted between 2021 and 2023. They were collected with a twofold purpose: to inquire what kind of literary texts non-professional readers remember, and to discover how they remember them. The findings are divided into six sections, focusing mostly on the texts and authors which were remembered by the readers, along with some quantitative data on their reading circumstances. The overall dataset’s reuse potential is discussed, pointing to potential examples within reader reception, and explaining what obstacles may be encountered by those who wish to reuse it.
