I tend to read more male authors than female. However some of my favorite authors are women. It may be simply that I read a lot of older science fiction which tends to be male-dominated.

I do consciously avoid female fantasy writers who tend to be a little more New Agey than men. I don't rule them out, there just has to be a higher level of interest in the book for me to buy it.

But I love books by Connie Willis, Andre Norton, Ursula LeGuin, Harper Lee, J.K. Rowling, Shirley Jackson, Agatha Christie, Marion Zimmer Bradley (her science fiction more than her fantasy), and Coleen McCullough (her historical fiction).
