Now that is an an interesting question. Why would an author even want to read his or her own novels? After all you know what is going to happen, don't you?
I find that I actually do like to read my own novels. It is sort of like seeing old friends again after a long time. I even get a chuckle out of something that happened or something that is said. Of course, I am in love with most of my women characters and like the men characters since they almost seem like real people to me.
Also I find myself forgetting that I actually created these characters and story to begin with. Or did I really create them? I haven't ever figured out where stories come from. They just seem to appear in my mind and the only thing I do is use my fingers to do the typing.
So do you like to read your own novels?
