Yes, exactly. We each skew our genre categories according to our own interests (like
Eskimo words for snow). It is exactly this phenomena that makes using genre potentially difficult in a book club situation, because everyone has different expectations of the same category. Themes come with no expectations ... or if they do, the club soon knocks them out.
