I came across this blog post and thought I’ll share it with you:

I totally agree with this. During the past few weeks at Uni I realised how important reading is for my own writing. Even books that take you out of you usual genre can really enrich your own writing so much. Especially if you read like a writer and pay attention to how characters, plot, time or place are set out in a book.
