Typing from reading list

You can find a lot of famous peoples' book collections here.

JFK's library seems quintessentially ESTP: LibraryThing | Catalog your books online

I was wondering whether or not people think that books that people own/have read are a good way or supplement to typing someone?

Ian Fleming comes across as ISTP I think from his reading list.

I suppose that reading lists give some insight into someone's interests and so it really depends on whether you believe you can type someone based on their likes/dislikes

Anyone care to type people based on their reading lists?

I don't think my recent reading list is very implicative of my type. I could perhaps see a T preference and perhaps an N preference reasoned from my list, but I don't think the other two letters would be too easy.

Anyways, for those of you moderately interested in the last 7 books I've read:
American Soldier: General Tommy Franks (his memoir)
Man, Economy, State - Murray Rothbard
Syrup - Max Barry
Company - Max Barry
The Art of War - Sun Tzu (1910 Lionel Giles translation)
Oedipus at Colonus - Sophocles (no idea of which translation)
Oedipus the King - Sophocles (again, no idea of which translation)

In my library, I have books that I do not enjoy or agree with.

Yes.

I'm always learning about all types of subjects that really say nothing about my own personality.

Falcarius has no idea, but here is a portion of a certain dinosaur, whom shall remain nameless, book collection for you to type if you want?

Stuff I read seems to be divided into 4 categories...

Fantasy/Sci Fi => 70%
Psychology/Science => 10%
Personal development => 15%
Web design/dev => 5%

Mind you I go through novels extremely quickly... If I have time on my hands, I finish 2-3 a week.

Does that seem INF enough?
