Do you guys turn into the writers you are reading?

Whenever I write something, which I don't do very often, I unconsciously take the writing style of the book I am reading. I have noticed that before. When I was reading Murakami, I did a little bit of writing, wrote some stories and the style was like short, just facts, not much thinking on the page, certainly no talking to an imaginable reader. I liked how it turned out, wouldn't mind being like Murakami.

I'm reading Magic Mountain now...

Man, I really am Thomas Mann, man... I don't want to be Thomas Mann. It's not that I'm trying to copy his style, no. I'm just casually writing exactly the way he did.

The time and place don't matter, I wrote. Feel free to fantasize here...

Man, I'm taking to nobody... Not long till I start writing about how I shouldn't rush the story, and take it slow on the 400th page out of 800 of doing exactly that (Mann did that and I could hear him laughing).

That's all, thank you
