I think I learned a lot from reading in general - even from reading badly written books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't go to school much, so I taught myself what I knew from reading.
I was always an avid reader of books. My vocabulary, my English are all thanks to that reading habit. Reading keeps me grounded. I came from a very middle class family - poor, in fact.
I've learned things about the craft of writing and about structuring a book and about character development and so on that I've just learned on the fly.
I've learned so much as both a writer and a human.
I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.
Who learns most from a good book is the author.
When I was a kid, I went through the whole process of reading great literature and trying to be very widely read.
If writers learn more from their books than do readers, perhaps I may have begun to learn.
I didn't learn a lot from books. I learned a lot from movies.
I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old.
