Absolutely. There's a really important aspect in being a broad reader, too, in that you get to hear a lot of voices that have traditionally been excluded by an Establishment that proclaims in a very authoritative way that "THIS IS PROPER WRITING!". Élite snobbery long excluded writers that were working class, low-educated, outsider, female, non-European, etc.

I'm reading to please my own brain. Who cares what someone else judges as good or bad? Read on, everyone!
