Read Like a Writer

Samuel Johnson reportedly said:

"The greatest part of a writer's time is spent reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book."

But addition to reading prolifically, a writer should note the literary techniques used in the books he or she reads. Like Sarah Waters advised: 

"Read like mad. But try to do it analytically [too]"
