I have them both reading. But I have everyone reading so I think that's more me than an actual headcanon.
I like the idea that Natasha is quite cultured, and enjoys museums and art galleries and ballet and opera and theatre etc etc. And Clint likes some of these things, but pretends he doesn't. :P But mostly I think Natasha likes quiet and/or solitary hobbies; reading, going to exhibitions, ballet, puzzles. I think she likes quiet - but not introspective quiet. Like, quiet activities. Partly because I think, while she finds differeny fighting styles and new weaponary very interesting, they're too close to her job to be hobbies. She also likes Sigur Ros, because I like Sigur Ros. :P
I like the idea that Clint is into sci-fi - especially "classic" sci-fi like Asimov, which is weird because I don't like that kind of sci-fi all that much - and also history. But not academic history, more like "you know about the thing! You will tell me about the thing and then I too will know about the thing!" I think Clint knows a lot of really random stuff because he's good at remembering, and I think Clint enjoys learning, though not academically. I think he's pretty good at occupying himself when he wants to be and has, thanks to the circus, a plethora of random tricks with which to do just that.
YES to the reading. Clint spends hours on stakeouts making up for the fact that he hasn't gotten a formal education. Most of the stuff he reads is related to missions, like when he was sent to Central Asia he read "The New Great Game", just so he can get some context for just why he is being asked to kill someone. Natasha does like the Russian novels -- it's the only time she feels like claiming her Russian heritage.
Ohh, I like your headcanons for both of them. :D Especially about the quiet-not-introspective hobbies for her and the picking up random knowledge for him.
