well buddy, I'd say you are not working right for yourself.
Liberal arts person expect to gain knowledge of Quantum Physics in one 30min pass isn't enough.
What is your age?
50 fully activated books or just turned pages on 50books? That makes the different. Same subject or general knowledge reading? Specific purpose or going for the general jist of story?
I sat in Band one day, nothing to do. I picked up Candide by Voltaire. preview for 8mins, relaxed for 5min with Band music in the background. Then I PRed and activated it in 20mins. I didn't go for ALL the details, I know that Candide caused trouble to LOTs of people and himself in most of the main events that he tumbled into. That's what my purpose was, see the big picture, 20min is fine. Next time, I'll go for some funny remarks and/or details, who knows?
