Reading is overrated, when it comes to improving your conversational skills.
If you want to improve your conversational skills, the following exercises are superior to reading:
- talking to people (especially people who are intimidating to talk to; e.g. hot girls)
- approaching girls (the hotter the better)
- watching movies/tv shows that show clever conversation
- listening to podcasts with intelligent speakers
- observing and listening to people speak when out in public
In my opinion, reading is too passive. It's not an aggressive way to practice.
Conversational skills are often not about theoretical framework and work choice. Conversational skills are rooted in comfort and confidence.. Comfort and confidence don't come from a book, comfort and confidence come from real world practice and experience.
Get out of your own head and get in to the physical world.
That will work much better and faster then just reading, in my opinion.
If you want to get better at speaking, speak!
That said, I know that everyone learns differently so do whatever work for you.
I think DOING is superior to reading about doing.
