I have completed the Photoreading course with the CDs and exercises. I got some useful ideas which is great because I was studying for a tough licensing exam. But I am still skeptical that the process actually works. However I am very motivated to keep trying with it for the next month at least. The power that I immediatly got from the CDs was how helpful it is to simply look at material again and again and not stress about totally understanding the material in one go.

My suspicion is that if you use photoreading for a fluffy book you will be surprised how much you got simply because you _already knew the material_. So I am going to try photoreading some simple books on material that I am curious about, but I am not already familiar with. Like culture in Venezuela. Or a biography of the Beatles or something.
