We trade books frequently, and most of my friends are into the same genres as me, even if they read less.<br /><br />I'm not married, but the man I thought myself most compatible with of all the guys I've dated wasn't much of a reader. The books he did have were things I'd read or would be interested in reading, and we had similar tastes in other forms of media, but he didn't love reading half as much as I do.Kristin Laughtinhttp://kristinlaughtin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-55571410305611964752010-09-17T16:05:46.567-04:002010-09-17T16:05:46.567-04:00friends yes, husband no.

He's gotten me into a LOT of the books I read. That said, of course, I have my love of romances which he won't/can't read. There have been very few books he's given me (or I've seen him reading) that I haven't liked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703102405965656616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-16440192830893720062010-09-17T13:59:57.321-04:002010-09-17T13:59:57.321-04:00Hm, this is an interesting topic.

I'd say that if you and your partner read within the same genres, that could give you some interesting things to talk about (and recommendations, as well as awesome gifts. The worst thing in the world is to receive a book that you know you'll never read as a present). If you find yourselves enjoying very similar voices, that could speak more about compatibility than genre alone. <br /><br />Have you ever stopped to wonder about the kinds of voices you've read? I'd be curious to what draws you in the most :)Jessica Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405267450788581689noreply@blogger.com
