Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if you guys have any tips on how to read better. By this I mean being able to read quicker and being able to retain more info from the passage.

Thanks!

    It's hard to explain, but I feel like it's helpful in the abstract. I edit gossip and entertainment for a living, so I don't read many stories that involve science, history, economics or politics. Certainly not long passages with that sort of content. That's what the Economist is chock full of...it's getting me more in the practice of reading on those topics. It's well-written and assumes an educated audience. After I read a story, I often tell my husband or a friend about what I just read. Like, in a sentence. That way, BAM, I just learned how to let all of that jargon soak in and retained the main points. I hope that's helpful.

    @304694 hey could you explain on how the Economist is helpful? I’ve seen that too but just don’t know how it would help improve the RC.

    Thanks!

    I finally gave in and got a subscription to the Economist. It doesn't cost much and I can see why people recommend it for reading retention. If you have a couple of months, I'd say go for it.
