You are reading the wrong material. Most modern popular writing is geared for the eighth grade. The reason is that they are competing with TV for the public's attention.If you really want to increase your vocabulary read essays by Edmund Wilson, novels by Charles Dickens. In fact there was a wonderful book that might be best for you that was published and became very popular in the 1950's that I enjoyed very much, "Thirty Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary," by Funk. You could also go into amazon.com and search for better vocabulary or go to your local library. Good luck. Studies have shown that a better vocabulary makes for a better student and increased chance for passing all those entrance exams.

Reading alone cannot help you. Try to use the words you learn. Also playing word games can help you tremendously in increasing your vocabulary.
