Apakhabar,

Composers don't read books that teach you how to write a song or a symphony. They simply listen to music and their mind processes it and either it helps them or it falls on deaf ears. It's a mysterious process, not a scientific one.

Not to argue against your general theme, but on this point I think you are quite mistaken. As in many fields there geniuses who seem to be able to skip the formal education, but many (probably the vast majority) of composers are well grounded in music theory with an excellent understanding of the technical foundations of "music". And yeah, they got a lot of that from reading books. From what I hear, even many tattoo artists these days are formally trained artists building on their classic art background to create in their chosen medium (one that pays them to ply their craft).
