I've found that activating certain novels poses more problems than with technical material. I haven't as yet found a way to pull out the stuff I really need - well, I sometimes get pretty high hopes when trying this out - and it doesn't always turn out very successfully. Novels I found especially difficult are those long ones by Dickens (such as Our Mutual Friend) and postmodern novels (such as Morrison's Beloved). Well, I am trying some experiments with visualisation lately and I'll mail back if there are some developments.
