I'm just curious to see if anyone has particular literary sources they would recommend in trying to achieve this goal, specifically in regards to humanities (book reviews) and hard science passages.

Thanks!!

    I've heard a lot of people recommending The Economist or Scientific American. The Economist has the same convoluted, passage type and structure you see on the RC and they have some abstract writing which could help you get through those longer, boring passages.

    ^ I agree! I read the Economist every morning on the train. It has a lot of variety.

    Thanks so much, also for the record I just started reading articles from 'The New York Review of Books' check it out. It is a complete rendition of any RC 'literature review' related passage.
