Actually, I'm afraid not.
I don't read in my own genre because I don't want to be influenced by other writers. You can't totally avoid being influenced by which books you've read, movies you've watched, or simply life's experiences. I just want to narrow down the possibility that I would inadvertently borrow something.
If you'd like to know more about my views on this, I wrote a blog post some time ago: http://www.ximerion.com/blog/can-writ...
Sorry. I hope you're not too disappointed.
