I think reading is a great way to expand your vocabulary. I can't say its one of the reasons why I read but it's definitely a great benefit of reading.

In terms of methods you could always try the Word of the day gambit, to learn and use a new word each day. Having a dictionary with you when you read is also a great way.

For me, it is so important in order to communicate my complicated thoughts and feelings to other people. It is also important for me to impress others with my deep vocabulary.

Now that I'm learning French, reading is essential for this language. For English, it is no longer critical.

Ohh it's extremely important to me. I am a verbal person and ever expanding vocabulary aids me to express my thoughts more accurately.
