A poll for the gents on reading

Please only participate in this poll if you self-identify as having a male gender.
I know it's hard to remember what-all you've read recently, but please try.

UPDATE: for anthologies, please count them as the gender of the majority of the authors.
FURTHER UPDATE: Please don't eliminate books from reporting in this poll based on their topic or genre, then comment afterward to tell me how the stats would be different if you hadn't done that. The poll is not intended to be aimed only at fiction, or SF - the question at the end is an add-on. The goal of the poll is to survey the genders of the authors of ANY BOOKS you read in the past 2 months.


[Poll #1450130]

Ummm... I read a lot and don't really care who the author is... well as in if they are male or female.

Read the entire Sookie Stackhouse series the other weekend...so maybe more than 50% of the books I've read recently have been by female authors.

Some authors I've no idea if they are male or female... either just initials or a non-gender specific first name and I don't look it up.

I know you read a lot. if you'd prefer to limit the poll to just a month, that's fine. If you have any names you don't know the gender of, let me know what they are and I'll see if I can find out.
