Question: When David is starting to turn into a werewolf, he sees his entire body starting to change. So why is it that when he is talking to Alex the next morning he can't remember it happening and the last thing he remembers is reading a book?

The physical and mental stresses of the werewolf transformation have clearly disrupted David's memories in a similar fashion.
