Okay, have read the article under discussion:

This guy needs to widen his circle of lit-geek friends.

Most of the writers/"book people" I know are voracious readers, and will read anything that catches their fancy, whether dubbed high/low/middlebrow/fic/nonfic/self-help/comics etc. I don't think I personally know many writers who *don't* read widely. The only people I know who are serious book snobs of the type written about in this article come out of the English department here at the University (rather unsurprising, eh?), and (oddly enough) a couple of sci-fi genre purists who turn up their noses at anything with the slightest whiff of fantasy to it.

Otherwise, it's a Great Big Readin' Playground, and we're all hyperactive. ;D
