What you read and write

[Ashley]

In my efforts to find my next book to read, I noticed that many readers had books on their "currently reading" list that were not the same genres they wrote. I am one who reads what I write, but I was wondering if this was something a lot of authors do? Do you typically read the same genre that you write?

I do tend towards fiction, since that's mainly what I write. But I read different genres, because I think that reading anything well written can be learned from and will improve my own writing. Good writing is good writing, no matter what genre.
