Mark,
I enjoy reading every word of some books. I even enjoy reading some sentences over and over again. It's like a thirst.
But, books that i am studying. Nope. I want the 20% (it's not 10%--the rule is 20% of the material covers 80% of the meaning) quickly so that i can make decisions about where i'm going next.
So, make a decision: If you want 100% of the info, then read every word. Remembering 100% of the material is another matter though. Do you actually recall right now, 100% of the material of the books you have read?
If, however, you want to gleen 20% of the material that carries 80% of the meaning, then PhR..activate...etc.
Call Dana 
it would do you some good to hear what he has to offer.
Anyone who has done 500 books and still doesn't get it has in fact gotten it and doesn't know it 
You present a very interesting scenerio to those of us who like a challenges.
