Shakespeare usually ends up on lists of "best writers ever", but the style is so different from contemporary fiction that I don't know if reading Shakespeare would be at all useful for absorbing writing skills.
It's worth pointing out that Shakespeare wrote for a medium that doesn't really exist any more in quite the same sense. He is still worth investigating. His work hasn't endured for centuries without reason.
