Since my personal philosophy can be somewhat hard to fulfill completely in trying to find a book, I often go with more contrasting angles to at least one of the main points of my beliefs. In doing so, I often find out more about how I am unlike the characters of the books I read and I can see more of how other people may choose to live their lives. When I do find a book where the protagonist is quite a bit like myself, I can find myself bored with it because I already know what it is like to live that life and therefore I don't have much to learn from that book. If the protagonist is my polar opposite, I am often much more entertained, as long as it is pulled off well by the author, since it is much more fun to learn about something new in this world than it is to repeat what I already know, especially when I know it because it also applies to myself.
