So I've talked a lot here about books. But what do women like to read, and what do they like to learn about?

I've actually posted some about this here:

So we have some women here now, and I'm asking this of them. But I'm also asking this of the men, what you you observed that women like to read and to learn about?

Why not ask one yourself?

Just to clarify I mean ask a female your question yourself directly in person...

I like to read true crime, I also read books about nutrition and diet. My fav book is Devil in the White City by Erik Larsen (I may be spelling his name wrong), based on events of the first World’s Fair in Chicago including America’s first serial killer. I also recently read a book called All the Light We Cannot See, based on a true story about young people in WW2 who changed their lives by learning to repair and use and build radios for communication.

I’m about to read a book that MackTruck suggested for me.

You will never guess what the subject matter is. ;)

Q. What's the difference between a woman and a book?

A. You can shut the book up.

I'd have to say True Crime books (as PinkSugarDoll mentioned) or something I call Bloodsplatter Series Books. I now a lot of women at work, or guys' wives from work, and even my Missus like them. Not the only genre they read, but it comes up pretty often.

Normally I would think something where the chief topic is often man-on-woman-homicide would NOT be widely liked. It's intriguing. And that's not the only type of crime depicted, but it's kind of common material in the books. Apparently it's common for the women I know to read these late at night or when they can't sleep. You'd think it's scare the bejesus out of them. Quite the opposite.

We went to a author greet with Richard Montanari this week. He was discussing his books, particularly _Shutter Man_ and _The Doll Maker_.

Lol, that isn’t the kind of books I’m talking about! There are so many types of crime to be written about, not all us murder. Drug trafficking, organized crime, white collar crime.... the psychological side, the analysis of the criminal mind interests me.

Criminals always start from innocence and in the end they always say, “I never thought it would come to this, it all started with ‘X.’” That’s why this genre is interesting to me, because we all started from the same place and it could be any of us that ended where those people are.

Thank you for the compliments, they are very nice. :)
