That means women read more than men, so libraries cater to their wishes.

I wonder if a factor in this is that libraries stock fewer books that men want to read. Although I enjoy an occasional romance novel, I'd rather read science fiction and non-fiction books.

Looking at the last set of statistics for fiction book sales I could find, 41% of all fiction sales are romance, 20% are crime/mystery, 20% are religious/inspirational, 17% is SF/F and 2% is horror. I was actually surprised by the last one since I though horror was a larger chunk of the market.

Going back to my library's last 7 days purchase of 108 books, 41% would be 44 books so pretty close to the actually purchase number of 42 books.
