Sex differences among novel readers

I found a interesting site a few minutes ago. The site is about, like you can see, the sex differences between what sex people have that buy different books.

On the site, that only contained bestselling books, were it six books there the readers were more than 80% men. Three of these books were about economy, while the remaining once were about sport, food and a how to guide about handling zombies.

It were also ten books that had more than 80% women readers. Four of these books was the Twilight books, two was other love books and the remaining books were also in one way or an other about relations between humans. All the books had also in common that they contained secrets.

So the conclusion that this site make possible to draw is that men seem to prefer reality with facts and “how-tos”, while women seem to prefer fiction with love and secrets.

Interesting fact that show the sex differences in the modern society. Because I believe in that the most gender differences is because of the environment, the nurture.

So is it going in the right direction, will it soon be no differences between the sexes, or is it going in the wrong direction?

I don’t know, because I don’t know what people read before, but knowing one of two necessary facts is always better than knowing nothing. So it is a good site and I hope it live on.

I also want to say, before I end this post, that the modern society is interesting there even a statistic site like these one contained links to the commercial site amazon.com, money gets more and more important each day.
