Would you judge a person by what they read?

Recommended Posts

Can you judge someone by what they read? To a large extent, the answer is probably, yes.

 

For example, if you're over 14 and you read Harry Potter, you probably want your bumps feelin'.

Step forward anyone who has read Jeanette Winterson and does not find her totally pretentious, inacessible and tedious. I loved Boating for Beginners and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, then she got so up herself that she started churning out totally obscure unreadable stuff.

 

As for Julian Barnes, I mean how pretentious is he? Half of his books are in French, which I happen to understand, but for non-francophiles, how annoying and elitist.

 

I read "Oranges" because I'd seen the film years before and thought it was quite interesting. I liked the book but found I couldn't get into any of her others.

I've read Harry Potter and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just a shame it's finished now.
