I’m an insomniac, thus the infomercial is something I am very familiar with. Paid Programming, terribly long and unattractive marketing, usually part of a pyramid scheme or faulty products and ideas. But I saw one last night for something called “eyeQ” a series of CD-Roms to teach you how to read faster. You only have to pay 15.00 to learn ancient Japanese secrets… yeah right. Contrived high-school testimonials and overzealous Ex-Mork and Mindy flop Pam Dawber trying to sell me with their indoctrinations. Pathetic.

Instead if you want to bump up your reading levels there is plenty of free help out there. A quick google search yielded many helpful results, with no money or has been actors trying to sell you crap.

This one is helpful and a short read, since we’re assuming you don’t read fast to begin with.

This one is a bit more intesive, taking ideas from the book, Breakthrough Rapid Reading by Peter Klump.
So Good Luck and remember… “Reading Is Fun-damental!”
