I have never met a writer who didn't enjoy reading.
You don't have to read text books only. Reading is one of these hobbies that bars none!
I tend to enjoy new magazines, and large newspapers like 'News of the World' most.
I tend to write in multiple genre but my novels vary from Biography to Folk Tales and Poetry.
