Interesting though I find the techniques enhances my memory of the material. Maybe because I bypass the junk? Yes it's strategic reading alright.
However some do want the tales that flesh out the authors ideas. I managed to junk one book where the author gave instruction for technique in 1 paragraph, (vague at best I've seen it better explained elsewhere) refered back to it a couple of times and didn't even have decent anedotes how others have used it. Glad to have PR & activated that book in 20 minutes. Oh and his writing style was shocking, probably why I left it on the bookshelf so long. I started regular reading it ages ago and shelved it after photoreading and activating it I found out why.
Obviously MarkP4 has purpose for reading the books, he says himself that he is able to get rid of duds quickly.
One question worthwhile asking of books that have a similar theme. What is new to me? Or What new information does this book have that I could benefit from by knowing? That will give PR a great kickstart when you read books with a similar theme.
