What an interesting concept! I had never considered a reading "kink" before...will have to give my own some thought, but initially I'd say:

womens lives;

featuring writers or other female creatives;

stories of "escape"- as in literally running away/having an affair/women completely changing their life;

times of transition;

Marriage/relationships- specially long term ones;

City settings.

This TOTALLY makes sense when you look at my favourite books over the past 6-12 months (and beyond): Scaffolding, All Fours, The Details (current read), Deborah Levy's living autobiography, Hot Milk and Swimming Home Viv Albertine's memoirs!

I love this way of thinking about reading, Petya! And seeing your results. "It makes my taste feel more legible" made me stop in my tracks. It's such a true statement! I'm bookmarking this idea for reflection later.
