It would be nice to learn some serious vocabulary without reading books (even though that's the fastest way)

I find reading books the slowest way, actually. The easier way to learn vocabulary is to tackle it with lists or word-bank tests, which are readily available on the internet.

From there, I recommend attempting to use the words in daily speech, or have a word buddy, since if you never use them you'll forget them eventually.

Has an associated score table to estimate your verbal intelligence: http://www.cogn-iq.org/?p=524

I scored 94/100. Some of them were quite hard and or ambiguous; I'm surprised I scored that high TBH.
