Increasing Vocabulary

Quote:

try to go above the fantasy novel fare; it won't do you any good if you read those kind of things.

I beg to differ. I have one of the largest vocabularies of anyone I know, and I learned most of it from fantasy novels and video games.

Which is not to say that more variety can't help, of course; it does, and always will. But don't dismiss fantasy novels.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No. It does not.


Also, on topic, I'd agree with Pirate. Word games such as Scrabble can be a help, especially if they're online versions that have some method of listing words that you didn't get. I've spent many a bored hour playing various online Boggle games, and I invariably end up learning a word or two when the games end and show me lists of words I missed.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
