I appreciate the assistance and yes I've done the "5 steps" over and over again on over 500 books now and yes I do uncover the "10% relevant information" and all that but when I go back and rapid read the whole text I gather all the information just as quickly in one pass as I can do in multiple passes without missing any small details that may be the missing link I need in order to understant the information. I can Sr and dip and nail the "10% relevant information" in a few minutes without doing anything else, who can't? If a book has a table of contents and/or a glossary you've got the "10%" at your finger tips. I can actually get the "10%" in less than 15 minutes per 100 pages but I want the other 90% too. For that I need to just read fast.
My problem is I want 100% and without it I don't feel as if I know the information well enough. I was just wondering if there was anyone else like me who's just flat out picky about how we read.
