A tale of two genders: men choose novels of alienation, while women go for passion

[riontel]

The book that made it to the top of the male list has one of my favourite lines ever:

"For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators on the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate."

Интересная статья. Но самое интересное в этой статье, это то изумление с каким некоторые ученые обнаруживают: "men and women actually ARE different!". Yep. Amazing. Who would've thought..
