and after reading it, I was wondering how much time I can expect to take off from my 1600 time of 4:33?
I'm thinking at least 6-8 seconds.

I just read it too and took almost 25 seconds off my mile time so I'd say you have the potential to go sub 4:10. I wasn't able to shave much time after reading the sequel though so I wouldn't even bother.
Every time you read the book it takes off 2 seconds off your mile time per year.
So read the book at least once a year for the next five years, and you'll have ten seconds off your mile... provided you are in high school right now.
Before you read it the next time, try to read it chapterwise but in a quick pace. Do this once a week and do not exeed 1 chapter per reading.
At least 2 days apart read a single page very quickly, and the pause for about 4 minutes before you repeat this 4-10 times. If you are too tired to keep up the reading time just call it a day.
On weekends (or your days off from work, depending your work schedule) grab another book and leisurely read for those wee afternoon hours.
All other days should be easy reading (you might subscribe to your local newspaper?) and might include magaazines and flight/train/bus schedules.
Alternatively add some visits to galleries for another visual impression -- gives similar stimulus to the eyes and nervous system.
I am also new to OAR (only got the new edition last month) and I am currently preparing for the second read. I really believe I can shave off half an hour next time!!1!
