Congrats on your good grades. I hear Davis has a pretty harsh curve. Now it's time to zero in on the MCAT. The books and magazines you mention are good choices. You might want to add Problem Solving and Comprehension by Whimbey and Lochhead to the list. Also, read editorials once a week and write some AAMC-like questions, answers, and answer explanation for them. This is a time sponge, but immensely helpful.
For sciences, part of developing reading skills is recognizing when not to read a passage. That only comes with practice. Good luck. You are lucky to be in an area where your preparation choices aren't only Kaplan and Princeton. Hopefully you have a great course (I PMed you about it in fact). Good luck in your studying.

I'm guessing by that description, it had to be Kaplan. I guess until they get some real competition, they don't have to hire good teachers or offer actual review/strategy classes.
