Hmmm... Do men read more than women, or do they simply participate more? Ladies, I could not help but notice as I wrote up this table of contents for the month to come, that we have 21 men reviewing books, and only 9 women... and, do male authors sell more than the women do? 22 of these books were written by men and 9 by women.

Whatever those answers, March promises to be a terrific month of learning! Of all these books listed, I have personally read only 3 of them --- what about you?

Comments

[Joanna Young]

I've only read one of them, as well as the one I'm reviewing. And I haven't even read all of that!

How I can review it then, I hear you ask? Don't worry, all will be revealed...

Joanna

[Pam Thomas]

I love the line up and cannot wait to read the reviews. I am also thrilled to be able to share a review. This is going to be a blast!!

[David Zinger]

What an eclectic mix of books and reviews. I look forward to marching right into this. I wonder about your male / female split and what it might mean. Thanks for this thought to ponder Rosa.

March will be a good month. I need to go back and count but I recall having read a few books that were on the listing going into the month last year. This time around the only title I have read is my own entry! Lots of learning possible.

Rosa, you ask a very interesting question about the number of men and women reviewing the books. Perhaps one factor which impacts this is that more men currently blog than do women. So perhaps that increases the chances that you'll have more male volunteers.
