My question concerns the relationship of PhotoReading and Activation. I have a stack of professional magazines on my desk as well as some professional books. I finished photoreading the magazines and want to wait a day before activation. Is there any problem going to photoread some books on a totally different set of topics for future activation or is it more constructive to stick to one general topic in a day. Note: I am not doing syntopic reading here, just wanting to chug through the backlog. I am a beginner: in fact I am still working on the tapes in the self learning course. PhotoReading may or may not work for me. However, I have lost twenty pounds of guilt by photoreading a stack of unread professional magazines and journals and saying "there, I've read that." That alone is worth the price of the course :-). The most difficult obstacle I've had to overcome is to allow the possibility that PR really is that easy.
