I think reading books is important for exercising my attention span and imagination (which is why fiction is important).

The caveat there is that I follow Naval Ravikant's advice and if I'm not liking a book, I either skip around to the parts I care about or I discard it and move onto another.

I've discarded a number of reputable, oft-recommended books because they did not click with me, such as Taleb's books, Think and Grow Rich, etc etc.
