Reading fiction is a pernicious addiction for me. You know the point towards the end of a good book when you realize you can't move until you've finished the book. The author has hooked you like a halibut. I suffer from this a lot. It's one of the things I read for, both to experience and to try to figure out how it's done.
Writers probably read in a different way than most readers.
We're looking for the wheels and levers that make stories go. Left to my own devices, I would read too much fiction, which would be bad for me as a writer. I have to limit myself, allow myself the enjoyment of a novel or two only after finishing a book or two and some magazines on science, current affairs, history, etc. Fairbanks has a wonderful public library. I check out the new books shelves each time I visit.
