Women read more, but do they read more actual literature? Or

most men don't read at all, or else they just read genre fiction, which isn't really reading.

I suppose it depends from person to person. I'd love to see some statistics on that but I don't think there would be.

I don't know, but I generally see more women reading 'proper' literature at my uni. Most of the time when it's a guy reading literature, they're usually reading some entry level meme shit like Thus Spoke Zarathustra or The Old Man and The Sea. Once I saw a dude reading IJ whilst waiting for the train, and I questioned why he would lug such a huge book around just for the sake of reading it outdoors.

Welcome Babby to entry tier fedoraism. One thing I have however noticed is that women tend to not dwell in an angsty fashion on their intellectual superiority a lot of men do from reading books and from misinterpreting them

Isn't the answer obvious

Do we need this /r9k/-tier thread every day?

My girlfriend reads books that are meme'd time and time again on /lit/. She has a friend who is doing her dissertation on Proust.

Most men and most women read shit-tier literature. Get over it

bruh most kids who are into philosophy read that shit in high school. Nietzsche is one of the most popular and accessible philosophers of all time.

What's wrong with writing YA that appeals to women ?

Hmm, really makes me ponder.

I want to get into philosophy. I might try this as my first philosophy-related book.

A Phi-losophic desarrollo if you will ?

I would say start with the Greeks, but if you want to read Nietzsche I suggest beginning with Human, All Too Human before Zarathustra. And remember to read Beyond Good and Evil after Zarathustra, it's like the sequel.
