You'd be surprised. It's a common cliche in musician interviews for example that they don't listen to other music for large stretches of time.
Authors do read more than the average person, but the average person wouldn't read to save their life (the average american reads like 1 book per year according to stats I've seen)
- inglor_cz 3y agoI write quite a lot (finishing my 9th book by now), but I read orders of magnitude more. Perhaps 100 times as much, roughly, when considering my younger years, when I didn't write at all and only read voraciously.
