I need to read in different genres, though -- and Not the genre I'm writing in at the moment. Too much of the same genre makes me bored with it, and it can be dangerous for the work in progress.

Plus, if I read too much, my photgraphic memory will cause me to stress over my own writing and whether I'm doing it "right". I second that!
