Amazing. I'm still nervous when i do it, but it has never failed me yet. My last success was approx. 3 minutes. It wasn't a large book. Someone handed me this book as a gift & as i wondered what the book's main thrust was, i opened directly to the key comment & actually, the first main comment. Can you imagine my surprise when it turned out to be very negative. Here i was expecting this to be an exciting gift that i would enjoy & w/n 60 seconds, i realized it was a totally negative report. But, the negative stuff did not start till a third of the way in.
Gotta.........trust myself & this technique.
I'm also kind of relieved to hear you also had to psych yourself up.
