I'm not here to convince you otherwise if you dislike reading, but for many it's not as black and white as you present. In fact most of the greatest hackers I've ever met were also among the most voracious readers (Rich Hickey included).
In doing, there is a lot of reading. Every line of code you write you will likely read dozens of times. And if you are writing anything significant, they will be read many more times by others.
