Women are still a closed book to men

If you missed this, it's quite interesting. I get the impression we're talking literary works, here. How about genre? Who do you read, and why?

Women are still a closed book to men

"Men have finally realised what they are missing, but they still
aren't all that keen to do anything about it.

This is the conclusion of a study into sex differences in reading
habits, which found that, while women read the works of both sexes,
men stick to books written by men."

Yes, I wish they'd taken this farther, too. I'd really like to know the answers to your questions. But most of the men I know read F/SF--both men and women--so they probably can't answer the questions.
