I've been thinking I should read "The Pillow book", but this quote has further influenced my decision....

As will be gathered
from these notes of mine,
I am the sort of person
who approves
of what others abhor
and detests
the things they like.

—Sei Shonagon, The Pillow Book
circa 1000 AD

I have read that book actually. My mom bought it, and I snapped it up last year. I quite liked it. Did you know that "Tales of the Genji" was the first novel ever written? How cool is that?
