[Over]

A certain person told me that he made an effort to read as many male authors as female.

This is a little bit odd for me. Should we be politically correct even in our reading choices? Am I being narrow minded if about 85% of my reading material in the last 2 years are from male authors?

I don't choose a book by its author gender, but I certainly know when I'm reading a male or female author... And usually prefer their (male authors) writting style and how they construct their male characters. That's important, because I try to relate with the main characters and being male, I do that better with male characters.

I'm not saying male authors are better than female ones. Far from truth! Some of my favourite books were written by female authors. But I can't find any other reason for the simple fact that most of my reading material are from male authors. Should I fix that?

What about you? What's your male/female author ratio?
