What is your hobby?

One thing you should strongly keep in your mind is "hobby is not the thing which we do to time pass".  Hobby or interest is where we seek pleasure apart from our profession.  A person who follows a hobby seriously called af·fi·cio·na·do. 

If a person is seriously following a hobby is expected to have more command on his hobby.  For example, Suppose you are a die hard fan of Mahesh babu or Akshay kumar.

You are expected to answer a few questions  related to their profession or personal life like Date of birth, Spouse name, their first movie, most successful movie, upcoming movie etc.  These questions may not be answered easily by others who are not following these actors.  

So Interviewers check how serious you are by asking a few questions on your hobby.  And you are expected to answer most of these questions.  If not, The interviewer believes that you perform things superficially and don't go into depths. Similarly, If you are given a job, you just perform things just for the job sake, but may not going to show any interest to learn more about it.

So be careful with this question.

If your hobby is book reading, read some serious books.  A few fictions may not suffice.  What books you have to read.  Books written by Dr.Abdul kalam (Wing of fire, Ignited minds), Mr.Nandan Nilekani (Imagining India), Robert covey (7 habits of highly effective people) etc.

Then you can say that J.K.Rowling (Harry potter series), Dan Brown (Angels and Demons, The davinci code, the symbol), John Grisham (The confession, the associate etc.  29 books he has written)
