<p>How do you usually read the New York Times and the salon? would you read a passage and attempt to analyze it while reading or after reading it? Also, do you try to vary your subjects of reading(like read through the different sections, including sports and such?)? Which sections seem to be more enriching/ which are more for entertainment. For example, I have read a lot of scientific theses recently and I can usually ace critical reading with scientific portions. however, I do admit politics and history are weak points. </p>
