DISQUS

There is good research evidence behind the fact that men and women broadly have different reading habits. Men tend to read non-fiction and women fiction. When I used to work in schools the boys would go into the library to read the sports magazines and the girls the novels. Don't worry too much as you ARE reading. There is also evidence to suggest that in the last 20 years the amount of extended reading (i.e. book reading) has declined in schools. I admire your determination to change your behaviour pattern, but don't be too hard on yourself. :-)

Thanks for that. I think my issue with this is that I know I need to read, I have an expensive and extensive library of books to read yet really pick one up. It's a real shame and I know I need to do better.
