As you look at dealing with study or acquiring and mastering any new idea well, you behold this process repeating out everywhere.
Namely, you are introduced to the 'new idea', you then 'play with it' and then you 'run with it', next you 'experience if for yourself' and lastly you 'prove it'.
Photoreading 10 titles a day is the 'run with it' part as in found in most exercise programs. When your are ready, then it is your time to 'run with it'.
What part of Germany are you located? How is the weather now? I was last there late 1975 in mostly Bavaria, I bet the country has changed some.
