Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Reading whole book / newspaper / novel

First, my apologizes for my poor english....

When I just want to know what's all written in a book (when it's a new book for me) because I'm curious, what should I do?
So I mean when I want to know everything thats written in the book...

Do I have to rapid read after photoreading the book?
And what should be my purpose?

What I wanted to ask is what I have to do just when I read a book only to know what's exactly written (without another purpose for school, work or anything else).

What should I do when reading a newspaper or something like that? Should I photoread and leading myself to important passages by my intuitive feeling? I ask it because when reading a newspaper you also wanted to know what the "news" is, without having a (clear) purpose about what you wanted to know...

And the same with novels....

Curiosity is good. I like to know what's new to me in a book too. While you might come to know everything that's in a book not all of it is important. So why waste your time on the unimportant?

Rapid reading is the very last step. It should only be used once you've exhausted the other activation techniques and still feel there is more you want to know. Or it's a book you want to kick back and spend some time with. More like leisure reading for enjoyment.

If you're reading a book and curious about it you have some sort of purpose. Just check in with yourself and recognise what that purpose is.

PhotoReading newspapers is explained on CD 8 of the Classic course. Newspapers is usually old news. You've heard it on TV before you get the paper. Just use it to fill in information you want to know about certain events.
