So let me get this straight...

You complaining that someone else got through a book at 2.5 hours? That isn't that long for some books so you don't know whether thats a long time.

You problem is that your not layering your activation. You need to pace your self. Your purpose can never be I want to get all the information in the book. You need to get trigger words and actively super read and dip. Rapid reading is optional and i know i can speak for myself when i say it is rarely needed. Try starting a mind map as early as you can and build it.
sorry if i forgot anything.

P.S. I know how you feel bout not getting replies quickly...




The thing here is that i want to learn more than just "a few parts" of the book. I feel like i'm getting 100% of comprehension of 10% of the book (the 10% to which my trigger words apply). On the other hand, if i read the entire book the old fashioned way, i get like 75%-80% of comprehension of 100% of the book, since i read it all. Thats why i still feel like i have much less information by PR than by normal reading.
