I want to become more knowledgeable. What should I start first with?

Another two favorites of mine....have an interest in serial killers since we had a few here in my area. Clifford Olsen, Robert Pickton, and Gary Ridgeway.

Thanks.I'll certainly check them out

I was thinking of expanding my vocabulary, how about that?

Read philosophy. Knowledge for its own sake is useless. Draw your own conclusions from the ideas you read. Someone else's context won't be yours.

fwiw, I never took a formal philosophy course (or any arts except music) in my life. But I read widely. That is key.
