My quick two cents; you read different things for different parts of yourself. Perhaps when Ms Jamieson was reading those columns she connected to a certain vulnerability, and when that left the work the reason she had been reading diminished. Should we transpose this idea onto what a writer chooses to write?

I know I like reading a variety of things, and I hope that shows up in my work. Emotional needs is quintessential writing territory, but I hope so is physics, linguistics, history, psychology etc etc.
