Hi Kim,
I had a similar problem when I started. I figured out that I had a couple of problems that contributed to my frustration. I was expecting certain things to happen and looking for that to happen. When it didn't I said that the system wasn't working and got frustrated. I also had problems forming mind probing questions and establishing my purpose for reading the book.
Try this. Stop expecting certain things to happen and remove all expectations from your mind. Start looking for anything that you can point to that gives even the slightest hint that the system is working.
If you haven't tried the 5 day plan, do that over the next 5 days. In preparation for the 5 day, pick a book that you haven't PRed yet and figure out how long it would take you to regular read the book. Keep track of the amount of time you work with the book over the next 5 day's. This helped me considerably and lead to my first book gelling for me. Since then I have been having a grand time reading books. I will never read a text book without using the PRWMS.
See if this helps and let us know your results.
Gregory
