I would concentrate on spelling and grammar first and then progress from there.

If you're asking for increased intelligence, try buying some nootropics. I've heard they can do wonders to the brain and might kick that grammar of yours up a notch, college-boy. ;)

Read all of the works on the following three lists, which cover ancient classics, medieval classics, and modern classics:

If you want to be truly sophisticated, you would probably want to learn at least one classical language (Latin or Greek) and at least one culturally significant modern language aside from English (French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Persian, Arabic, Chinese, etc).
