1. I'm 20 years old, and I love reading. I figure I'll live for about another 60 years. In that time, I'm prolly gonna be reading a lot of books. If I can cut down the amount of time I read them, a year isn't a big deal. Obviously I haven't been spending 8 hours each day at it. |
Yes that's a very wise decision to do, but there are many reading systems other than PR.

Not that i want to discredit your proofs, but we can find "proofs" for whatever we want to believe in. Of course, as an atheist you know the whole talk, so all i ask is that you consider these proofs you have under the same light that made you discredit religious "proofs". If you've done that and still finds these PR proofs real and valuable, then ok, i can't argue against that.

BTW, I'm an athiest.  |
Well for a time i thought the course worked for me, i was PRing books by doing all the methods exactly the way Paul Scheele tells us to, and i had the impression that i was absorbing the whole book and was very excited.
I also had "proofs" that it worked, but after a gradual proccess that's too long to describe here i ended up in disbelief about PRing.
