I bought the photo reading book and was only mildly successful. As a 'dare', an overly-skeptical friend suggested i try it out on 'Atlas Shrugged'. I did this on the 25 minute train ride to work. Nothing. Then a few days later I was arguing about US involvement in world affairs when I used the term 'moratorium on brains'. It took a week to realize that particular term came from that 1,000-plus page book i just spent 25 minutes on. I'm not preaching that this system works, but this REALLY freaked me out. In a good way. Kinda like riding a motorcycle for the first time. I just joined this forum today and i am looking forward to sharing feedback on photo-reading. By the way, did anybody see the info-mercial where the guy read Dickens off a computer screen at speed of light and answered specific questions correctly? Pretty cool.
