Does your partner have the same taste in novels?

No we both read WAY different kinds of books. I like science fiction/fantasy and he reads ALOT of nonfiction/war time books. I have read many books that I share with others and many that I would never tell anyone about LOL.

Not at all, but I wish we did. There are times when he will tell me about a book and vice versa, yet we both are interested in what the other is reading. He likes military and science fictions books, and I like spiritual and true crime books. I have tried before though. I tried to read "Dune" and I just couldn't take it. It is just not my cup o' tea.

To tell you the truth, my partner and i dont even have read any books. We dont have any interest in it. I dont know why. but we both love watching movies together.

I like the books he reads. He is an english teacher so he reads a lot of literature books. For this week alone I have seen him with seven different books and all of them I got a peek at. So I guess we do share the ame interest in books because I love literature and reading although I have not read any books recently exccept having to do with legal writing and research. Merry Christmas

My husband and I both love to read. Sometimes we share interests and sometimes we don't. We both read and loved the Harry Potter series and there have been others that we both liked. I usually get a lot of my books passed down from my dad. If I think my husband will be interested I give them to him to read next. We usually talk to one another about the story that we are reading, even if it doesn't suit us to actually read it ourselves.

You are so lucky that you got same minned partner.But my man has no interest about any book instead of reading news paper and I am very fond of books so even if I read any of them I just narrate the whole story,he listen and thats all..

No, we don't. And I don't mind either as long as I am not punished for it..lol The main problem in my case is when we have to buy books for the kids. My husband usually buys what he thinks is the right book and what he enjoyed as a kid. But when I pick out something, he makes some excuse not to pick it up (of course, I do get what I need by doing it on the sly...but I don't like doing it that way). My husband is mainly interested in Hindu mythology and Indian stories that we grew up hearing...but I have been used to the Enid Blytons, Agatha Christies and the English classics. I'm glad my kids are getting exposed to the Indian books too...but I feel that they need to appreciate both. That answers your questions about discussing the books too....no, we don't discuss 'coz we might end up fighting..lol But I do discuss the books I read with other friends who read the same books.

My huband and I have complete opposite taste in books, so it is very rare that we ever read the same book... there have been a couple that we both enjoyed though. He got me to read on of his Michael Crichton novels and I really did enjoy that, and it was nice to be able to discuss it with him too. However, that is a VERY rare occurence! lol

Hardly... My wife almost doesn't read at all... and when she does, it is mostly things that are romantic and... well - I prefer fantasy and Sci-Fi...

Before we met my husband had only read 2 books, I got him hooked on reading. We like a lot of the same books, but there are also quite a few we don't have in common. We don't really discuss the books much after we have read them.

Hi, My man doesn't even like to read, but I love it. I read and he watches TV, so I guess there is are no discussions for us about what I'm reading. I wish he would read so that we could talk about the books, but I don't think that's going to happen...Smile!! I like to talk to others about the books I read because I feel that if they hold my attention, then someone else might like to read them too. ~~Taz~~

My husband and I definitely don't have the same taste in books. I find plenty of places to talk about the books I've read, though, so I'm okay with that. I do wish we could read some of the same stuff, but it is interesting when we tell each other what we are reading about.

My partner and I do share an interest in the same books. In fact he has introduced me to many authors I have not read before and I have shared some with him. I would not say that we both like every book but at least 90%. We read a great number of books from our city library. My partner is a faster reader than I am and he is often a few books ahead of me but if a book is thought provoking, interesting and worthy of discussion we will talk about it after I have read it as well. It is nice to have someone who shares my interests so well.
