80% of the enjoyment is in the sensory appreciation of the meal: the taste, smell, texture, and presentation of the food.

network: "Read actively using a pacer... The more senses you use, the more alert you are likely to remain. Imagine eating a meal all you could do was see it. You couldn't smell it, taste it, feel the texture of the food or hear the sounds of cutting and slicing a juicy fish. All you could do was see it and eat it. How much do you think you would enjoy your meal? 80% of the enjoyment is in the sensory appreciation of the meal: the taste, smell, texture, and presentation of the food.
The same applies to reading. Unfortunately we are taught at a very early stage to appreciate reading only through one sense. When you start building mind-maps, taking notes, thinking, discussing and actively reading, you will find that reading becomes more like a meal you can see, taste, hear and feel. You always always remember a good meal when the company is good and the surrounding is pleasand. Treat reading like a good meal - you'll be surprised."
