I've heard it expressed before that a writer should read a lot in order to gain insights from experienced or professional others, thus following the general blueprint of the long chain of authors. Well, I guess that I'm a bit odd or a bit unorthodox in that chain, because I just don't read many books. Don't get me wrong, I've read the Bible from cover to cover more than once, and I stay diligent in my studies and research, I just don't read many books by modern day authors.
