If you want to write, you have to read. If you want to write well, you have to read a lot. There are two main reasons why you should read.
1) To find out how the author surprises you, and how they managed to pull it off
2) To know what's been done so you don’t do the same thing
There are stories that have been done to the death and you don’t want to end up just writing something everyone’s seen before. Use other’s ideas but mould in to something people haven’t seen.
Reading also helps build up your vocabulary and your spelling, grammar and punctuation will all improve as well.
It doesn’t matter what genre your writing, read all genres of book to get a better feel of how people write. Read a variety of books, old and new; once you know what’s been done, you can write something that hasn’t…..
Keep writing
