Learn to enjoy poetry. There is so much of great poetry in English, but I think it is not being read and appreciated enough. It is a kind of mental challenge like doing a puzzle, to unlock the full vivid meaning.
Also reading fiction, though how exactly it helps one is beyond me, but it offers glimpses into other worlds. For example I read recently 'The French Lieutenant's Woman', I doubt its richness of detail, and evocation of place and time, etc can ever be captured in a film or even a miniseries, and on top of it is choc-full of tid-bits of information.
John Fowles wrote the very famous book "The French Lieutenant's Woman". At least it's famous in the UK. It was made into a successful film in 1981. The Magus appears to have been filmed as well, but in the 60s.
This goes beyond a failure of google-fu, surely. Most European languages have about the same information density as Latin so I have no idea where the idea that Latin is particularly concise came from.
