Some good points but I would like to point out that Alan Moore recommends reading bad books because they will motivate you to write a better one.

Interesting! On the rare occasion that I read a bad book, it usually just inflates my ego and makes me grow momentarily complacent (in addition to the points I mention above), Reading the best of the best always helps me to become a better writer.
