Be fucked if I need science to validate reading of any kind. That type of thing drives me mad.

I love that feeling, that sense of working with a book until you conquer it (as opposed to just slogging through something, I've still not finished Gravity's Rainbow years after starting it).Related though, I struggled reading this book for about a week until one day, about 3 hours of trying in, the writing clicked and suddenly I found it easy. I went back and quickly re-read almost all of it and finished the book in a day. Mad altogether, I think my mind just managed to focus for the first time that week.
I really struggled with that one. Loved his earlier book but couldn't get my head around this one.Be fucked if I need science to validate reading of any kind. That type of thing drives me mad.

Sinéad Gleeson: ‘There’s a huge issue with men not reading books by women’
Is this true? Almost all the books I read are by male authors but I didn't know it was an issue. Likewise, most of the music I listen to is by men but not deliberately so. She can keep her bookshelves gender balanced if she wants, I can't be bothered.
While my immediate reaction is to find it fairly CERTIFIABLY INSANE to have only "started reading female authors" in recent years (sorry Jim), when I think about it I think it's a fair point to have to do it consciously.
If you care at all about, I dunno, PEOPLE, then you'd want to at the very least be wary of the received wisdom on what goes into the canon and want to resist it.
I'd say I read a lot of female authors, proudly so (my go to favourite author is female), but I just had a look at my goodreads and of the 29 odd books i've read so far this year only 8 are by women. I would have kind of assumed all the books I read this year were by women but I hadn't been counting the "classics" I read for the sake of educating myself or whatever, and guess what, almost all of them are by men. Says it all really.
Ha! When I say the last few years, I guess I mean the last ten-twelve years - around the time I started this thread - Contemporary Female Writers.
Prior to that, my default author choice was always male - particularly in my teens and twenties.
With regard to the Classics, is it fair to say that there are just a lot more male writers to choose from - given the times that they were published?
I'm about to investigate some Virginia Woolf - having read about these new re-issues
