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.

I really haven't read very much in the last few months. There's been a convention in the way.

In fact, I can't remember any book that I both started and finished in the last two months. I can remember only three books that I finished during that period and all of them were written by men. I know that I have a couple of books that were written by women going but I may have to restart one of them because it has been so long since I read any of it.

I generally count a book as having been "read" in the time period when I finished the book. And I don't count a book as having been read unless and until I finish it. That's what I figured people would do, since it's what I would do.
