[quote=Anonymous]Read lots of books. I'd start with any that are "must read" (e.g., found on middle/high school reading lists) that you haven't read -- Catcher in the Rye, Number the Stars, Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird, Catch-22, The Jungle, Animal Farm, Diary of Anne Frank, Vonnegut, Hemingway, etc...then, depending on what you like, keep reading more of that author/style. I never got into reading the classics and I hated Shakespeare and similar period-type literature, but I loved reading so I read a ton of YA, murder mysteries, biographies, whatever I could get into. it made me a better writer, improved my vocabulary, made me more worldly, and helped me understand various cultural references and riffs, among other benefits. I think it's probably the most straightforward and meaningful way to be "smarter." And cheap; just get a library pass.[/quote]
