After much deliberation I recently got round to actually reading my first book (photoreading that is). I followed the steps properly and allowed the material to incubate overnight and came out with several questions I wanted answered . . . But, here is the problem (if it is a problem) how do I test my comprehension level? During the super-reading stage I seemed to answer just about all of the questions I wanted answering but it seems I could have got just the same results from simply skimming the pages. I'm not trying to find fault here I just need solid proof that I'm doing it right before going further.

Anyway enough of that - I have two other questions to annoy you with. So here goes:

Incubation periods - can you have too long an incubation period? I mean if I don't get round to activating the book the day after photoreading would it make a difference if it was left for a week or even longer?

Impregnation of ideas - I have regular read books by authors who I simply cannot abide by, e.g. Marx, and while reading them have mentally criticised the ideas. Would photoreading in anyway put ideas into my mind that I already don't agree with? If I photoread Marx or Plato would the sh*t in the books possibly bypass my logical, critical brain (and my sanity in the process) and put ideas into my head that weren't there before?
