So I have a dream of being a writer and because I am a P, I spend a lot more time thinking about the idea and the act of writing, and not much time actually writing.
A discussion I had with a member on here a long time ago sparked this idea that I am using to create this thread, and I thought I would finally bring it out as a topic of discussion.
Do you think that your type affects what kinds of books you enjoy reading? For instance I adore the idea of time travel and non-linear storytelling and getting the whole picture in bits that are disjointed like a puzzle I get to smash together in my head. The person I was talking to thought that time travel was "the vice of Si" being that they are Ni and don't see the point in caring about the past.
(And I don't want this to sound like a stereotypical type thread where obvious answers are obvious... like ISTPs clearly don't read anything except the names on the boxes of car parts, or INFPs only read books about pudding and unicorns. I think I am more curious as to whether the INTJ's hypothesis is correct and that there is something to the functions and preference to particular themes of reading.)
