Is the best way to learn English to read books?

I found this on the web the other day - so true:

Question: Whats the best way of learning english, just read books and write? whats the best method?

Answer: the best way is to have an educated native speaker who will converse with you and correct you. Most trained ESL teachers are extremely good, too.

The best way to learn to speak a language is to speak it, the best way to learn to read it is to read it, and so on. But in my opinion, the best starting place is to learn it orally, If you read first, you will fix the wrong idea of the sounds in your mind. This is difficult to rectify.

If I were going to teach someone a language, with the aim of fluency, I would not let him read or write for six months
