He has left off reading altogether, to the great improvement

Summary

This quote suggests that someone has stopped reading completely, which has led to a significant enhancement of their originality. In this context, "originality" refers to the ability to think independently and creatively. By cutting off reading, the person is likely avoiding the influence of other authors and ideas, allowing their own unique thoughts and perspectives to flourish. This implies that the individual's creativity and authenticity have blossomed as a result of this deliberate disconnection from external sources of information and inspiration.
