When I've read a long book, I write in the same style as that writer for a while afterwards, sometimes for months. It's like garlic sweating out.
I so do the same thing. And if I read a couple different books with very different styles while working on a project for some time, it ends up a mish mosh of stylistic influences...which usually do not work.
