What is reading, anyway? Novels, comics, graphic novels, manga, e-books, audiobooks — which of these is reading these days? Are they all reading? Only some of them? What are your personal qualifications for something to be “reading” — why? If something isn’t reading, why not? Does it matter? Does it impact your desire to sample a source if you find out a premise you liked the sound of is in a format you don’t consider to be reading? Share your personal definition of reading, and how you came to have that stance.
Reading encompasses all of the above examples. To 'read' is to comprehend any collection of written words. I've come to know that reading everything and anything is the key to becoming a better writer. I thank my college English professors for this bit of wisdom.

I wholeheartedly agree! ;-)
That's the best, clearest definition I've come across. :)
