A couple of posts make reference to designers who don't read. I think they may be on to something there.
The truth is, all disciplines (art, music, design, photo, etc) are best informed by the "stuff" that resides outside of them. e.g. You can sit the piano 8 hours a day, everyday for a year... learn to play Sonata in C at light speed, it won't make you Keith Jarrett or Thelonius.
There's an understanding that must be gleaned which has absolutely nothing to do with your proficiency at CS4, or your ability to recreate the CA Design Annual dot for dot.
