Redditor on /r/writing implores users to "read more books" if they want to write well. Commenter shit and piss their pants with seethe and rage at the suggestion

https://old.reddit.com/r/writing/comments/18h6ndp/please_read_more 

								

								

									
									
OP posts a longpost but it basically says "you should read books if you want to write".
Post is fairly new, but 9/10 of top-level comments are  :marseyakshually: YOU DONT NEED TO READ TO WRITE WHAT IF SOMEONE CANT AFFORD BOOKS
Not summarising

Reminds me of an old Russian joke:
Chukchi submits a novel for publication. The editor reads it and tells him, “Well, it's not very good. You should read the classics. Have you read Turgenev? Tolstoy? Dostoevsky?”
“No, Chukchi not reader. Chukchi writer.”
