The Starry-Eyed Romantic

Remember all those summer childhood afternoons you spent sprawled under the forsythia bushes in the garden, reading Love Story, Little Women and Jane Eyre (and maybe Judy Blume's Forever) over and over? We won't tell your parents. Romantic readers crave sexy encounters, fantastical happenings and storybook endings, whether those endings be (mostly) joyful (Pride and Prejudice, Twilight, How Stella Got Her Groove Back) or tragic (Romeo and Juliet, Me Before You, One Day). So…bring on true love and vampires, heartbreak and dragons and Earl Grey tea. Romantics relish a good cry or epic drama—which partially explains their embrace of A Game of Thrones. Romantics have a soft spot for YA fiction, as it suits their taste for efficient plotting and satisfying outcomes.

The Philosopher


You may have finished school long ago, but you've never lost your hunger for increasing your knowledge. You likely prefer nonfiction and "think" books, but you can enjoy a novel if it teaches you something. Homer's The Odyssey will captivate you with its tips on raft building, while Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna will satisfy with recipes for empanadas dulces and vivid descriptions of Diego Rivera's Mexico. Seeking to make sense of societal trends—past, present and future—you'll read books like The Sixth Extinction and Freakonomics. Other books on your bedside table over the years have been Guns, Germs, and Steel; Outliers; The Happiness Project; Thinking, Fast and Slow; and—lately—Lean In and Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century. You hold the deep conviction that, although the world may work in mysterious ways, you can decode those ways if you apply yourself. For you, the best books are ones that help you solve the puzzle of human existence.

The Endurance Reader

Like a long-distance runner, you have powers of endurance and you don't mind tackling epics or long sagas that cover varied terrain and multiple generations. Covering so much ground appeals to you because you enjoy the sensation of slowly compassing the distance you cross, enfolding the landscape into yourself. Others may despair of finishing Karl Ove Knausgaard's epic My Struggle series, but you relish every moment. If you had three months to spend on a reading holiday, you would take Moby Dick, or Anthony Powell's four-volume A Dance to the Music of Time, or Tolstoy's War and Peace, Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks, George Eliot's Middlemarch, Philipp Meyer's The Son or all of Proust's In Search of Lost Time. You derive satisfaction from the achievement of completing the journey.

The Lionizer

You bring an element of fiction to the way you see the world and the way you see yourself. To you, life is an adventurous novel that you create and change, day by day, taking inspiration for your own path from the actions and journeys of brave, determined people you know, or read about. The Goldfinch will intrigue you as much as A House for Mister Biswas; and for you, the slums of Behind the Beautiful Forevers or a biography of Thomas Jefferson will hold as much allure as the towers of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. For you, a book is a passport to another place and time. Whether you travel much in your real life, you like books that transport you to terra incognita, like Land of Love and Drowning or Absurdistan. In your dreams Cloud Atlas is your diary. Nonfiction books hold your interest when they describe personalities and situations that demonstrate the mutability and drama you crave. You likely harbor a passion for classic children's literature, too—that's the Lionizer's wading pool.

The Mirror

In the prolonged moment when the responsibility of parenthood and raising children overtakes your life, and your neighborhood and community enclose you more confiningly than they formerly did, you may find yourself becoming a Mirror reader. (The style may not stay with you once the kids grow older.) Mirror readers are drawn to books, happy or sad, that reflect their current experience, centering on family life. If you are supporting a family, or being supported yourself as you raise kids, you may find validation—as well as cause for concern—in a novel like Tom Perrotta's Little Children, which shows the tensions that strain teeter-totter marriages. Meg Wolitzer's The Ten-Year Nap specifically resonates with women like her protagonist—who leaned out, not in, when she had children…then wondered, as her kids neared middle-school age, how she could rejoin the work force. There is perhaps no better American writer than Anne Tyler at showing how the tangles and ties of family connection persist, even after the kids are grown. And in England, Margaret Drabble's The Needle's Eye or Tessa Hadley's Sunstroke and Other Stories provide a similarly inclusive backdrop. The books a Mirror reader looks for provide a combination of catharsis and cautionary tale, reassuring the reader that her experiences are shared and familiar and that they are a part of her life—an important part—but a chapter, not the whole story. Nonfiction books like All Joy and No Fun provide fodder for commiseration, venting and rueful bonding among Mirror readers at playdates, coffee breaks and neighborhood potlucks. There will be time later on to return to reading experimental novels about freewheeling dreamers, or brainteasing nonfiction books about war and the cosmos, if you want to. You can't read all things at once.
