Adding to this, I think it’s also really important to read books outside of your direct field of work. Read fiction will make you a stronger writer and add flare to one’s non fiction writing (plus it’s fun!) And the marginal utility of reading books outside of your immediate field can be a lot higher since those books will encompass ideas far outside those one might usually encounter. So it’s all about finding the right balance.

There's usually a marked difference between the non fiction writing of someone who reads fiction vs someone who doesn't.
