I wrote (what I consider to be) a slightly more accessible post last month on the same topic after I really picked up reading books four years ago. My argument is that reading is a must for profressionals to learn and remember the ability to distinguish biases, trends, novelty, etc. Furthermore, I don't recommend "literature" as a starting point but must-read books in your field. It can be easier to start because the material is closer and because it doesn't feel like reading was a waste of time. Afterward diversifying to economics, psychology, domestic and foreign history, management, etc. and fiction become easier to make time for and easier to see the benefits. http://notes.eatonphil.com/why-and-how-to-read-books.html http://notes.eatonphil.com/why-and-how-to-read-books.html
