The men I know tend to read non-fiction and technology. However, they do listen to fiction via audio books. The men also watch more television, or at least surf more television, than women.

I also discovered Sarah Vowell as an author this year - I loved <I> The Partly Cloudy Patriot</I>. Another book that I'd recommend is <I>Persepolis</I> by Marjane Satrapi.<BR/><BR/>In tallying how many volumes I've read this yearhabladorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730183259272125337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509053156280655479.post-72270143402320906292007-09-26T23:37:00.000-04:002007-09-26T23:37:00.000-04:00Just finished Freakonomics, it was good in parts, ...Just finished Freakonomics, it was good in parts, but has a lot of BS in it as well.Casmallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707953002695900950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3509053156280655479.post-38439664818557033122007-09-26T11:46:00.000-04:002007-09-26T11:46:00.000-04:00Personally, I go through reading phases.

I like to be well rounded.<BR/><BR/>One of the last books I read was The Alienist by Caleb Carr and thought it was excellent.
