I read an online article on how to increase your intelligence which suggested watching less tv and reading lots of demanding books. I still watch too much tv and reach for the undemanding books. :oops:

So far the books I've been reading have been non-fiction books-and very interesting ones at that!

Reading books are really annoying for me, because it takes time to finish. But I would like to read small articles.

Welcome CeasAbbie. :cheers:

Have you considered audiobooks as an option? You can listen to them while you're doing other things. For example, my wife is American, and I lived over there for 6 years. We would drive up from South Carolina to West Virginia (a 10-hour drive) every Thanksgiving to visit her mother, and we listened to the entire Harry Potter series on those long drives.
