<p>Read Shakespeare and psych lab reports as reading practice! A nonfiction on linguistics, argumentative debate or statistics perhaps.</p>

<p>The Black Swam, Nassim Taleb
The Language Instinct, Guy Deutscher
The Blank Page, Steven Pinker
Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond</p>

<p>Don’t think it will get better if you do not read, my friend…</p>

<p>Just remember one thing when you do critical reading: Every answer can be supported by the text. As obscure as an answer might sound, if it is supported in the text, it is probably right.
Supported dumb answer>unsupported logical answer
Also when you are reading the passage, keep in mind three things when you are reading: Tone, Meaning, Structure</p>
