^ I'm planning to read the dictionary over spring break/the summer. :blank:

What good would that do you? Honestly?

I actually wanted to do that too, just to know words you don´t know yet.

I really doubt anyone actually read the dictionary.

5 years ago there was a guy in class who read the dictionary before going to bed, to extend his vocabulary. :|

 

In class when someone doesn't know an answer to something they always turn to me. It's been like that since I'm little. It can be quite annoying sometimes (I DON'T EVERYTHING DAMN IT! I'M NOT A GENIUS!!:bomb: ). Even more when the teacher just answered the question they ask me :|

Why would you make plans to read the dictionary? :blank:

I think it'd be a better idea just to read different books, by authors of different backgrounds?

Alex. Seriously. This is ME we're talking about here.

Well, it hasn't helped for me, even though I'm a voracious reader. :shrug:

Yeah, but still :P

I made my friend love John Green/The Fault in Our Stars. :awesome:

Huge respect for the person who will read the Encyclopædia Britannica :nod:

See it would take me a solid 3 days to read the dictionary. I have the Webster's universal college version. :stunned:

 

I think I would enjoy reading the Encyclopedia Britannica. :facepalm:

^ Same (to the second part). :shame:

I once read the entire Twilight Saga in one day :blank:

 

Needless to say, that was the only time I read it, and I was extremely bored :facepalm:

I read the entire series the week Twilight came out. :P

I'm glad she likes it!

I sincerely don't know what you could do. What I'm trying to say is that taking up a bunch of 'nonprocessed' info is probably not the best way to actually learn its underlying mechanisms ans properties.

 

It's like knowing by heart a load of formulas that you, however, don't know how to derive, where they come from or what they are for.

 

(Sorry I'm so off-topic.)

...but I learn better with non-processed info. :blank:
