This! Reading in general manifests to others as if you have superpowers at times. Whitepapers, RFCs, manuals, API docs, regulations, devour them all and the doors will open so fast it will make your head spin. General advice to all, don't get bogged down thinking you need to memorize every algorithm and data structure to be a great programmer. It's more about understanding the domain you work in and knowing how to "stand on the shoulders of giants" within that domain.
