One thing I've noticed is that during the Alpha set I have been reading a hell of a lot more than usual. I think this is a result of the "put youself first, and do the things you want to do" type effect. I don't think everyone who goes through the Alpha set will delve into more books than usual, I think you'll tend to focus more on whatever you want to do, and for me that is to learn. I've always liked to read and absorb but this is a new level.
I don't know if anyone is familiar with them but the little "a very short introduction" books are absolutely fantastic. Really great for learning about a subject - you get treated as an intelligent new comer to the subject and learn so much more information about it than you possibly should do from 150 small pages. The books are really enjoyable to read at the same time. I've been reading one about Freud recently and as a consequence started doing some amateur dream analysis. I never normally remember my dreams but simply by saying to myself "I will remember my dream" a few times before going to bed, and upon waking writing them down I'm now having hundreds of dreams. They all seem to take on a similar theme and that is I'm often the leader, the hero, the man in charge, the controller of whatever is happening in the dream. This must be a consequence of the Alpha set. Pretty interesting.
