From kali921: Does your character read for fun? What sorts of books/plays do they like?

Kirk has wide ranging tastes, and might read a classic of Terran literature, Vulcan poetry in translation, recent biography, history, or contemporary escapist fare. Like all Starfleet officers, he's fond of Shakespeare. He doesn't get to read as often as he likes, though.

Knox likes spy novels, detective novels, and other lightweight materials. He'll also read a good sports book. He hasn't been to the theater in ages, and never for serious plays.

Dean O'Dell, being a former lit professor, has eclectic tastes as well, but tends to be very critical even of genre works. He takes more pleasure in critiquing a work than reading it. He is fond, however, of the writers of the 1920s and 1930s, especially Hemingway and Fitzgerald. He also likes the more thoughtful works on sports by such figures as George Will and Joyce Carol Oates. He used to go into LA a few times a year to catch a play, and is partial to Arthur Miller.

Gibbs is functionally illiterate, and would never think of reading as something you do for fun. He is somewhat familiar with Shakespeare, but knows little otherwise of the legitimate theater.

But Gibbs is a great master of the oral storytelling tradition!
