If you have the patience, read whole nonfiction books. It helps to have the entire story. Research them before you start. Read two books on the same subject from different views. There is always the audiobook bay. One thing I miss out on, because I'm in school, gen eds are way too basic.

If you're really interested in a controversial subject (Israel/Palestine, gay marriage, gun control etc.) it will take more than a couple books to really understand the issue. There are more than just two sides to any complex issue, but the most vocal participants in the conversation won't tell you that.
