Hi there, apologies for partioning this post.
I don't know the exact figures, but I heard 65% of books are written for women. Makes sense as women read more men. It's a fact chaps.. sorry..
So. To all the fellas.. what's the best book you've ever read !! Give me you absolute bangers.

Amazing books that everyone should read, or books every man should read?
If the first, Rushdie’s *Midnight’s Children*.
If the second, Sebastian Junger’s *Tribes*, because it’s a compelling treatment of a lot of issues around meaningfulness and masculinity, and Rebecca Solnit’s *Men Explain Things to Me*, because you don’t have to be a colossal douchecanoe to be a man.

“I always loved twilight: it was the only time of day I had the feeling that something important could happen. All things were more beautiful bathed in twilight, all streets, all squares, and all the people walking through them; I even had the feeling that I was a handsome young man, and I liked looking at myself in the mirror, watching myself in the shop windows as I strode along, and even when I touched my face, I felt no wrinkles at my mouth or forehead.”
