If you remember that there are different types of reading and that not all types are suitable for all types of books- you'll avoid a huge pit of frustration.

For instance, the newspaper can be delt with by Superreading and dipping in about 10 minutes UNLESS you find something really interesting. However, you may have to slow read a philosophy book and repeat several things several times to even begin to get what's being said.

Also, you can Photoread and not activate for a specific purpose. The chapter on Direct Learning will explain it.

We get into trouble when we want the impossible right away.

"Concern yourself with small tasks, then proceed to greater" some wise guy said that.
