I always think there is too much hype put on the necessity to be a massive reader. But I certainly do think it is good to read.
One reason I think it is good is simply to oil the wheels of narrative language in our head. We all start out imitating what we think is great and then developing our own style. In anything such as sport, art, anything. Regular reading of books we like keeps our mind turning over with narrative, and when we sit down to write, we can draw on that river that is flowing through our heads. That's how I see it anyway.
