sam988,
How many books have you gone through the whole process on since the post? You said this was your 3rd book.Since this is one of your first 10 books or so, put it away. Do the process on books where a do or bust isn't a requirement.
If you read a book on a subject that you know no nothing about in a normal fashion, how much of the subject will you know after one reading?
If you don't know what is in the book, how did you decide to pick up the book? Is your first question not, what is the book about? Not so much the detailed content of the book. Mind map the table on contents, what appeals to you.
If you need to make questions about the whole book to know everything, why haven't you?
Maybe the first time you super read and dip through the book, yes it may take you as long to go through the book, yet your finished mind map, if that is how you are activating will be far deeper and more coherent that with ordinary reading. You said you didn't mind map your activation. Depending on the book subject, is a write form of activation the most appropriate?
You mention that your purpose was get the most out of the book and improve my knowledge about it ? How, what etc. specifically? That is quite general as a purpose.
If you want success you'll need to practice more than on 4 books. If you don't get immediate results, you quit. So I take it you can't talk properly, don't walk, can't write etc.?
Happy Travels
