My husband reads a lot of things. I joke that he has no taste. I read fewer things because I'll put a book down if the writing is poor. He jokes that I'm an elietist snob.
I'm in a stage right now where I have to choose who I read so I don't accidentally imitate the poor writing when I don't want to. I read romance/erotica when I'm writing that. I read gaming novels while I was writing my novel proposal for WotC. I read Lackey/MacCaffery while writing light fantasy. I read Gaiman/Martin when I'm looking at dense fantasy. I read Asimov when I'm doing SF.
