The new personality test?

Over at Susan Hill's blog she has an interesting post (and comments) on judging a person's character by the books they read. This reminds me of the article in the Guardian they had last year about reading books to look smart.

Am I guilty? Well, mostly I buy things I think will be interesting or entertaining. I have occasionally duped myself into buying books that I think I "should" read, which I often regret. Most of my self-consciousness comes when I look at the titles in my library already. What do they say about me, I wonder? What would a person who didn't know me, or hadn't seen me for ten years, assume about me if they saw my library now? And just to confuse things, I have a merged library with the Other Half - what does our library say about us collectively?

As far as judging a person's character by the books they read - I think I'd be most concerned if they didn't read at all...
