I have used the PRing for exactly this same reason. I always rememer a quote that has stuck with myself for ages. "Reading makes the difference between those who are educated and really educated".This just struck a very strong accord with me because I have always been aware that I never used to read much at all, let alone ficton.
A special technique to activate fiction?? What do you want to get out of your fiction books? This will determine how you activate the books. I have used my dreams, literature lecture, movies and rapid reading. I suppose the best example of using the "full" PRing system is PRing all that I could find on a French author called Moliere. I PRed all his plays and then every critique that I could find in both Frrench and English, attended lectures and then wrote an essay. I knew this guy inside out and subsequently passed an exam for the module that I had spent the last few weeks studying.
