"The best writers tend to be voracious readers who soak up ideas, vocabulary, and different ways of structuring an argument or narrative. So try to get your hands on the classics you missed in high school English, as well as leading newspapers and magazines to bring you up to speed on global politics, current events, and culture."
The first part is true. But you can also be a very very close second to the "best" writer without doing that!
The college I went to, global politics, current events? I didn't need this. But don't get me wrong, the academics at my college were EXTREMEMLY difficult.
