What does this say about me??

Every so often I find myself surfing around Goodreads, just to see what total strangers are reading. Some people keep their profiles, and therefore their bookshelves, private (like me- I went private after the girls got their own profiles, and I didn't want people to link to their sites from mine), but others keep everything public.

It's pretty fascinating actually, to see what kind of things people are reading/have read/want to read. Like this one lady I just came across. She had a good mixture of chick lit, thrillers, children's/YA, self-help and recent bestsellers. She also had at least a dozen or so books dealing with addictions; food and alcohol mainly. It'd be really easy to make some snap judgments about her, right?

So that leads me to wonder what judgments a total stranger would make about me, based solely on my list of books. Personally, I think it would show that I am a well-read, eclectic person with a keen sense of humor. ;)

So here's a montage of 200 books I have listed over at Goodreads. What do you think it says about me?


Note: I'll make my profile public for a few days. If you click on a book, it will take you to my Goodreads review.
