Reading is different for men and women
We've all progressed this century past the blind claims that women and men are the same. And, fortunately, we've also passed the naive claims that one gender is better than the other. We each bring our own strengths and weaknesses, but none can successfully claim superiority.
Now suppose we shine the light on differences between the sexes with regard to book reading? We pick up some more interesting results from a recent survey that asks various educated people what book had changed their lives. Top-20 lists were produced as well as some very interesting facts presented in By The Numbers:

"Six male authors broke the women's top 20, but only one book by a female author made the men's top 20: "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee."
I guess Harper Lee sounds like a man's name. :-\ |

More female or male e-readers?
Go to Palm Addicts website, find the forum, and check out the topic for this subject. I think men are outnumbered, big time!

Hi Yvonne!
I do remember that one, and was going to give the link but couldn't find it. A great forum thread. (Almost as good as the one about the auto vulgarity filter that led to funny forum names like Burthingy!) Do you have a link for us? |
