“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies… The man who never reads lives only one.” — George R.R. Martin

I don’t believe in a one-fits-all scenario. Other ways of art consumption can bring good results.
Also, there’s a difference between consumption and creation.

There’s one thing to read a blog and another one to keep a journal.
There’s one thing to read an article and another one to post a tweet.
