Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer activation

I am on tape five, reading the 2nd book "Natural Brilliance" , so anyway...

I photoread the book already and I am trying to activate it, but activating seems like just regualar reading with super dipping and rapid reading. If I want to read a novel, how am I supposed to read it in under an hour if I must rapid read everything?

Paul Scheele talks about dipping into certain sections, but if the book is a novel then most of the writing, not the 4 to 11% is important to understanding the plot or even the book in general.

Thanks

Superreading and Dipping will simply take practice. As far as novels, I don't recall anyone promising you could read one in under an hour. Three hours is more reasonable. I read novels by superreading and dipping for about 15 minutes a day for a few days, and then if I still care about the book I'll rapid read.

Well, I finished tape 5 and Mr. Scheele says that super reading and dipping can be used in sections, but rapid reading is used from the beginning to the end.

I was reading other posts to see if I could gain info from there, and I was interested in another alex's reply when he was listing the books he read and how he had read 3 books in one day, one including harry potter #3.
Alex, How did you read that ?
If Mr. Scheele says that you need to rapid read the entire book beginning to end what did you do ?

Thanks!

I did rapid read it from beginning to end. As replied on your other post the speed with which one can complete a book depends on your purpose.

Is it easier to PhotoRead a fiction book or a nonfiction book?

non-fiction

It easy to photoread any written material. From the point of view of having a purpose when photoreading it's easier to apply to non fiction books.

Photoreading fiction books can be a heck of a lot of fun. If you just want to know what the story is about then the non fiction book techniques of superreading and dipping will be applied and yes you can know enough about the story in 30 minutes to an hour that way to be finished with the book. You need to have an idea of what your purpose is and asking questions that suit a novel is the way to go.

If you want to become fully involved with the book for the sake of enjoyment then photoread and rapid read is the way to go... you don't expect to cover the novel in an hour or less that way. It becomes a lot faster though... you recognise the slow bits and read them a lot faster once you gained enough experience with photoreading.
