bigduke is almost a TestMagic guru.
Re: Strange!!!!

See the reason we emphasize on newspaper editorial / essay reading is :
1. They are a repository of substantive vocab (good ones i.e.)
2. You can practice functional reading for RC's
3. One learns the writing style for essays

Reading books is good no doubt, but given the very nature of the prep schedule for most of us (not all), enjoying the company of books isn't the best idea. However the same may prove beneficial if you're already an avid reader.
