I got the book too for the same reasons.
I bough the book a week ago and yes I really do read three times faster. I am finding myself dipping back into old habits during the activation phase.
I have to admit - I WANT TO READ LIKE PETE!!! I saw him on TV holding the "Page Down" buttom of the computer while reading a whole books in seconds.
Is that really possible. Does anyone else out there do that? If I could read all the technical subjects i work with inn the computer engineering field like like. I could retire very soon.
