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.

Re: "Gender"
But you are right in your historical comment that much of this is about the embedded connotations of words. To my ears, the word 'gender' in the non-linguistic sense is filled with connotations of euphemism, political correctness and bowdlerizing.
I didn't have a problem understanding her, I just felt I needed to raise awareness on a point I feel strongly about.
