Reading well written things hones your sensitivity to language and since thought is expressed through language, reading literature makes you a better thinker. In western Europe at least, reading and rhetorical proficiency has sharply declined and probably as a result of that, the public use of language has become uglier and more ideological. It's this process that brought us hideous words like "innovation", lazy nerd phrases like "X is a thing" and people who spell "army" with a capital letter.
