Keep this in mind the next time you see the claim that men hardly read compared to women. If you look at the sales numbers, women are mostly reading porn like harlequin romances, 50 shades, and the stuff from the video. And that's not even getting into the bizarre fanfiction they're into. Men, on the other hand, will simply watch a video instead of spending hours reading paperback porn.
I dunno, there's something to that. I came across this video the other week and I'd say there's a plausible case to be made that modern literature just isn't being produced for a male audience, so men have just sort of tuned out.

Modern literature may be trash, but we still have old books.
