   A good question to ask in an interview, towards the end, is "What was the
   last book you read?"  Don't really care about the answer (Unless it's a
   Daniel Steele novel or something ;).  Try to see if they are a well rounded
   person.

I would certainly need to know more than the *last* book read to know
if the candidate were "well rounded".  Maybe 3, or ask what's on the
reading list...  What if the last book were "Programming C++ for Fun
and Profit?"  Good because they keep up their education?  Bad because
they're one-dimensional?  Suppose that before that they read
"Macbeth", "Japanese Swordmaking in the 16th century", and Danielle
Steel's latest?
