Precisely! Me and Ms Foyle have very diverse reading and professional interests. We like similar music, movies, foods, outdoorsy stuff, and we happen to like the same two children (most of the time!) She is very much into other cultures, but not imagined ones. She loves reading about far off and exotic places, but only if they really exist. So if I try to tell her about what I am reading about, her eyes pretty much glaze over, her head droops and she feigns death until I stop. The other day she asked me why I love SF and I told her it was an escape, her response was "are you trying to escape from us?" My answer was "ofcourse".
