No, that's not it.  This was from a while back.  I have a vague notion
that librarians were involved - possibly it was a librarian who wrote
this? A librarian blog?  Or just that it was one of the librarian
listees who posted it to the list?

It had bits talking about if you like reading SF, it means you think
thus-and-such is central and important, and if you like reading
mystery, then THIS - I'm trying to remember the details.  For mystery
I think it was about a sense of justice.  For romance, the importance
of love as central in your life.  For horror, it was something about
expecting evil to be just under the surface or something - I don't
remember precisely, just thinking "okay, well that's why I don't like
horror then"

Anybody know what I'm talking about?
