Im 16 and ordering the self study course soon. I've had some of my questions answered by reading other topics but there is one I havent found. I know that this will help with reading things like tech. stuff but does it have a real affect on pleasure reading and is the reading more enjoyable.

it's not made pleasure reading more enjoyable for me---my pleasure comes from the author's writing style

PhRing is a technique. It sure makes studying more pleasurable though

good choice. but photoreading is kind of designed to sort out repeated information, which in pleasure reading is what forms the story or gives details for your imagination. pleasure reading can be helped with using some techniques like getting the relaxed state, because paul metioned that that is the state you are in when you are reading a book and you cant pull yourself away from it. i think that if you used that state to begin a book it might help or just being relaxed and free to imagine would be fun. for reading the book, you might want to just get the point at the top back part of your head and read it like normal or rapid read. photoreading is mostly useful to solve the information overload problem.

I find photoreading just as valid for pleasure reading. I love being able to enjoy a book from cover to cover and enjoy it even more since I add the photoreading stage... I can superread and dip the slow bits cause inwardly I already know what is there and get really into detail by slowing down.

Some books that I had read twice by regular reading I recently photoread and then rapid read just for the heck of it. I was amazed at how much more detail I picked up... how much of the important stuff I had missed (the clues) during my regular reading and yet covered all that plus what I missed in 1/6 the time it took me to read the books orginally.

I'll not read a book without photoreading it first thats for sure. Whether for study or just enjoyment. I like it that my inner mind was able to slow me for some important information and I had no way of consciously knowing that I missed this information on my first 2 readings and that was reading every single word.

well its not only for pleasure reading but also or books i have to read for school and thats the main thing i was just woundering if I photoread books like that if i'd get the main ideas and be able to analize the books and know them as well or better then if i read them like i normally do
