I was thinking she was trying to push buttons, mainly. But the danger with this is, she reads the stuff PRETENDING interest then becomes genuinely interested in it, as part of the psychological investment in needing to have another 'reason' for reading it, other than just ticking mum off. Ironically, the more boring the book is, the more she will need to feel invested in the beleif system. Similarly, the more you react, the more she will feel a need to genuinely believe it, to justify the lack of other positive benefit. I forget what this is called, it's a fascinating (and disturbing) facet of human nature.
