As you can tell, we were not close.

She sounds like somebody I'd avoid like the pest.

As the center of my own universe, I really don't care what others are reading.

On topic: I see nothing wrong in judging somebody by the reading material. I do so and expect! other people to return me that favour.
My reading habits reflect my fields of interest. This makes a judgement of my person based on it work as an attractor/repellent test.
Or - to put it more bluntly - it saves me from searching yet another polite way to tell some co-humans to f* off. They figure it out by themselves.
