Excellent question but the answer is “No”. I read a fair amount but also are most translations of Aristotle good writing? Probably not—Aristotle is famously obtuse. Is Wittgenstein good writing? I have no idea but also his writing is probably idiomatically suited to the content of the ideas he’s trying to express. I was recently reading Seneca, is he a good writer?
I used to read a lot of Nabokov who is certainly a good writer but that clearly did me no good.
