Thanks, I'll be sure to have a look over all of that material--its about time I read the Constitution from cover to cover, anyway

Difficulty is good! These passages in the MCAT can be pretty monstrous!

Thanks again for all of your help!! I think I'll probably be pretty busy with all of these suggestions. I'll keep you updated!

Thanks! I'm starting a list right this instant and I'll be heading to the library tomorrow!

Hello everyone, I know this may seem silly to some of you, however, I would really appreciate it if you would consider my request! In short: my reading speed and comprehension are poor. When I look at words as I read (when I can keep my focus long enough) I tend to fall into a mode of just word processing, and I am not actively reading. I blame this, primarily, on the fact that I previously avoided books and my college texts like the plague. I was able to get away with that until now because I was a science major, and I had a pretty good knack for understanding and retaining visual and auditory instruction. However, now I'm preparing for a big standardized test that has a relatively difficult reading comprehension portion (difficult, primarily, because of the time constraints on relatively complicated passages). So, I now need to increase my reading comprehension level and speed. Having said that, I was wondering if anybody on this forum would be so kind to indulge me with a list of books / opinionated short essays / passages / or overall, just good, complicated reads that I can immerse myself in until I love reading, and am a bit more efficient at it Oh! And, if it helps you out, I'm prepping for the Medical Colleges Admission Test (MCAT; I'm sure some of you have had the pleasure of taking this test before). Thank you so much for your time, I really appreciate it!
