I used to think that a persons interests reflected certain aspects of that individuals character.
This theory has been challenged by my own interests. For example I am a mental health professional and agony aunt to my friends and family. I like to think of myself as a caring person and a woman of faith.
Yet my favourite books seem to involve a great deal of murder and mayhem; I read a lot of Martina Cole whose books are really quite brutal and I read them and actually gasp at the violence. Yet I am hooked.
I sit and wonder if under my compassionate facade; I am really a bit of a sick puppy? Or do I read these books because they are the complete antithesis of my real world.
Surely my literary interests should reflect my personality. What do you think?
