A friend of mine recently pointed me to Speed and Photo Reading.
Currently, I read at about 250 words per minute. I found some companies
trying to sell "Learn PhotoReading" kits for about $250 through
MetaCrawler, and I'd really like to know what that's all about.
They claim that it's possible to read 25.000 words per minute, which I
don't consider realistic - but I'm willing to learn (that's about ONE
PAGE per SECOND, sounds more like a slow modem than a human being
reading ;-) ). If 1.000 or 2.000 wpm are possible without having to read
a book 4 to 8 times before you remember anything, it seems like a worthy
investment.
Anybody with experience on that?
Thanks for any information!
later,
Holger
