Remember how Dustin Hoffman memorized the phonebook in Rain Man?

I have read parts of it. But I feel that reading more books expands vocabulary more easily. When we see a word in context, we then see its function. Otherwise, reading a dictionary just comes down to having good memory.

No. But in High School some people thought I had.
Sometimes I read http://www.urbandictionary.com/
Anyone can post new definitions for words there.

Not the entire one, but I find it interesting to browse in an Unabridged from time to time. And yes, it helps.
