@rdc02271:
Let me try to explain....imagine a page in a book: take a ruler and go inward about an inch from both the left and the right margins and then draw a line in both locations (parallel to the margin)...instead of the lines I'm going to use a sequence of numbers starting with "1" one the left line, "2" on the right line then jumping down a few lines and starting with "3" on the left and so on...like this:
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8
9 10
11 12
13 14
15 16
17 18
19 20
My eyes will move down the page as follows: from 1 to 10 on the right, then up to 6, then crossing over to the left to 13, up to 9, down to 18, up to 14...getting the idea?
Usually I'll cover a page in a paperback in about 3-4 such sequences. I have no idea if it is efficient or if anybody else reads like that but I don't really care
-- it works for me...
@socrates:
Innsbruck....and no, I haven't used PR yet. I just saw the infomercial a few weeks back while on a trip and did a search on the subject 2 days ago...I had no idea that there was a program teaching you to read that way...but it surely sounds interesting. BTW -- I'm using English here because most everybody else does...maybe I'll shoot of an e-mail if you'd prefer to use German (are you in Austria? -- I'm assuming you are since you are using Umlaute...)
