I think reading (text based book) is what is important. Reading Anything.

A lot of what was required left me cold and I would read other stuff in class.
The instructor got mad and gave me a reading test: 800WPM and 89% comprehension (twice as fast an the next highest in the class AND I exceeded their comprehension by 20%) . He did not believe the results and gave another test with similar results.

After that, I was mostly left alone
