“I don’t have patience for people who say ‘I want to be a writer, but I don’t have time to read.’ If you don’t have time to read, you can’t be a writer.”

— Stephen King 

I’ve read hundreds of books so far, on my to a thousand, and I enjoy reading. 

But sometimes I’ll read the first chapter or two of a book and not finish it, if I can’t get into it. 

But for the most part, I finish reading the books I start. 

Some books I read for entertainment, some I read to give myself ideas for writing, and some I read to learn something. 

There’s no end to what any person can learn, and reading books is one of the most practical methods for learning, especially learning to write.
