Just curious if anyone had noticed a preference in the gifties they knew and what it might mean.

DH and his father have strong preferences for nonfiction and I like fiction. DS seems to be following dad and grandpa.

He has free reading time at school. The kids select a book to keep at their desk each week. He has selected a large science encyclopedia each week so far. His teacher asked if I would mind letting him bring smaller science books from home. Of course this is fine and we even talked about letting him pick books that go into more depth on a topic they are covering in class. He likes sharing interesting facts with his classmates.

Just curious if anyone had theories on why some people prefer one over the other.
