Photo reading

Now that I am not traveling for a little while I am beginning to figure out what's next. Oh there is a lot to do catching up from the year's travels like filing, but who wants to do that! Instead I would love to have some time to read the hundreds of books on my shelf that I have been planning to read for years. You might say I love collecting books as I have an equine library of over 400 titles! I use some of these in my writings and others I have collected over the years for various reasons. But now I would really like to glean the information contained within their covers.

I am a slow reader and have been all my life. I do retain what I read but it takes me ages to finish a book. So I have decided to investigate another way to read, it is called PhotoReading. I got interested when a friend of mine told me about her son who taught himself how to PhotoRead. He started getting A's at school. Then her daughter took it up as a project for the year at her school. She has been getting 100% in all her tests and is now in advanced classes. So I am totally intrigued by the idea. I bought an older edition of the book on Amazon "The PhotoReading Whole Mind System" by Paul R. Schleele and have gone through it a couple of times. The most interesting thing so far is that after I PhotoRead his book I can do Soduku puzzles really quickly. That last for about two and then I am back to slogging it out with the numbers. But there must be something to it to make that immediate change.

My next goal is to get a bit more practiced at PhotoReading and then use this technique write an article where I use a number of books as reference material. Then, after PhotoReading the books I should be able to 'activate' them material needed for the article.

I will let you know how it goes!
