Hmm to provide a serious answer to what sounds like a not serious question I'd say just find out what your major interest areas are and just start reading books in those areas. For example, if you like video games start getting books on video game history, collections of essays about video games in culture and the like.

Additionally, you should read through the literary "classics" which you can find in the sticky/any simple google search.

While neither of those will make your brain "evolve", accumulating knowledge is a strong way to sharpen synapses and learning to evaluate/argue (which you get from reading) is important.

Is this book a meme? I started it and couldn't stomach it, I quit within the first twenty pages or so. I should probably go back and give it another go, but I just don't know if it's worth my time.
