Novels for pleasure reading? Most people just PhotoRead and then rapidread. For school you have your purpose. Do a longer postview, keep the preview short 60 seconds will do. Pull trigger words doing postview if it is for literature studies. Otherwise preview every few pages.
Where possible open the Gutenberg files in html (your web browser) You can tap or hold the space bar for photoreading.
If you want to memorise something you either have to use a memory peg system or activate in multiple layers. Build it.
It's an Imaginary X... you see it in your imagination.
