How do you value reading in your life?

Question

What is your view on whether writing skills are influenced by reading habits?

Have your writing habits been affected by the quality and quantity of what you read?

They absolutely are.  Vocabulary, grammar, style and expression are all influenced by what you read.  The more you read, especially at a you age, the better you will be able to communicate when you are older.  This is for scientists as well as those in the humanities.
