Its not just about reading, its about thinking on your feet and being able to find solutions to problems. Spend time around a lot of different people from different fields and always ask questions. They have alot to teach you, but you wont learn anything from them if you dont give them a chance to talk. You'll be surprised how much stuff "ordinary people" know if you give them a chance to talk. Do a lot of Math and calculus and try to solve complex coding problems. Build things, release, get feedback and repeat. The experience will surely increase your intelligence understanding, awareness and your ability to recognise patterns. Good Luck.
