my minor superpower used to be that I could name that Shakespeare quote by play name, act, and scene. nowadays I can probably name the play and I wouldn't claim anything more than that outside of the four plays that were part of my dissertation.

this superpower has shifted and changed: now I can do it with Chumash (Torah in Hebrew): name the book it comes from, and the portion of the week it's in. I don't think I can do the verse number unless it's a piece I've studied in depth.

odd quirk of my brain that if I've read something more than once I can bring it to mind with very little hints.
