How important is "reading" to medical schools?
I was thinking about "hard" interview questions, and I realized that there's another thing (besides strengths/weaknesses) that keeps coming up.
"What kind of books do you read?"
My answer (the honest one): "None. I do read a lot of magazines, though, mostly TIME and other general magazines."
The fact that a lot of schools ask this question makes me think that it's important to be a reader. Is reading really THAT big of a deal?
