What about book geeks?

There are times I find that my job does define who I am. I love language, reading, books, etc. These things interest me and I use them and pursue them. Yet I often find myself disengaged from the culture.
I often find myself (with my wide interests) doing things that are quite unbookish. I like computer games, for example. I'm learning to play the guitar. I like food and drink. I like the theatre and film. Music and the visual arts.
The only thing that can be said about all of this is that people read and write books about all of these things!
I'm not always an editor. I know how to turn it off. (Sometimes.)
You should not be defined by your job unless it is a key aspect of who they are. You should be defined by what interests you the most, and by those things you do with pleasure. Your job is just one part of who you are, and who's to say you'll be doing the same job for the rest of your life?
