Do men like fiction?

Deliberately provocative title to attract attention! 😃

What sort of fiction do they read? I saw something today from an American news outlet (forget which) about the Netflix series of Thursday Murder Club and it got me thinking,

So many best seller books seem to be written by women. And I assume they are read by women. So like books by Liane Moriarty and Lisa Jewell. Or Taylor Jenkins Read.

Do men read classics? The latest Booker winner? Or celebrity written fiction?

But am I wrong? Do men read Sci Fi and Fantasy for their fiction? Or what?

What do men look for in a book? Is it true that women read way more than men?

Or is there no obvious difference between the sexes?

Currently reading the new Dan Brown book, absolutely read fiction and I have no concerns about the sex of the writer as long as it interests me

My DH is much more of a non-fiction person but occasionally will read a John le Carre, or pick up a classic. Interestingly my DD adores fiction (like me) but my DS always leans towards non fiction or comic type things
