Exhausted Verbal Sources, Now what?

I am pretty new to GRE, so I am unsure of which books to use now that I have exhausted my verbal practice questions.

Here's what I did:
Barron's New GRE, 19th Edition (Barron's GRE)
barrons 2nd ed vocab
Official GRE Book.

Vocab is vocab - just memorize words, throw in a little practice, and voila.

BUT...reading passages is my difficulty and I need all the practice I can get. Is there any book you recommend? Thanks in advance

Don't worry, I am also keeping math in mind, but I am not finished with barrons for math...

GRE Big Book is a great resource. Took me ~3 months to complete all the verbal in that book.

I just started preparing for my GRE test and I will have about 6 weeks time for it. The part that is concerning me the most is the verbal (vocab) part. Did you guys normally just memorize all the words from the prep books? Any tips or suggestions?

Read challenging literature and focus on becoming a better reader (e.g. write down vocabulary and expressions you don't recognize). Maybe reflect on it with some writing.
