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.

Ugh. LJ just did Something Evil to my post. I think it may have been the angle brackets. Let's try this paragraph again:

Regarding what I propose. Fair enough, it is reasonable to ask for a constructive approach beyond just criticism. In my view, there is nothing wrong with the statement: "I'm a male, but feel more comfortable doing [ insert tradional female roles of choice here ] rather than [ insert contrasting male roles here ]."
