Hey,
When you guys photoread fiction, such as novels, how long do you incubate? What kind of a purpose do you have?
And do you just rapid read for activation? I heard that Pete does that.
Can you do the same for non-fiction, by photoreading then rapid reading if you have no specific purpose but just have interest in what the book says?
Thanks,
-JackTuff13

Hey Alex,
What were you answering yes to? Both of the questions? What about the two top ones, about the incubation and purpose?
But thank you for responding!

Novels are pleasure reading what other purpose do you need other than to enjoy reading? Incubate the same as any book 20 minutes to overnight. If you flipped it in the bookshop you're done.

Hey Alex,
Oh, ok. But if I want to understand the storyline, consciously, my purpose should just be "To enjoy the plot/storyline of this book?"
And also, what do you mean by just flipping it in the bookshop? Just using the photoreading step without activating/rapid reading?
Thanks,
-JackTuff13

Prepare, preview 30 second, PhotoRead can all be done in the book shop or library. Why bring home a book you won't get anything from?

 nope, PhotoRead in the bookstore and buy some other book that merits keeping. Like large detailed well organized reference books. Or fine poetry Or a nice table top picture book (on sale of course)

Yes, I am saying PhotoRead it in the book shop and activate it if it is still interesting after a short postview.
I PhotoRead all books first. That way I know if the book is worth taking home and if I finished with it in the book shop why bother taking it home?

Hey Alex,
Thanks for all the help, I really understand it now. I just have two more questions.
1)By Photoreading and activating non-fiction a lot, will it be easier to activate novels once I start? (I've never truly tried it on fiction before.)
2)How long does it usually take you to finish rapid reading a novel, that, let's say, is between 200 and 500 pages?
Thanks again for the help!
