I"m reading an article about the novelist Ian McEwan, (Atonement) and he relates how he and his son, a few years ago culled their home library and ended up giving away 300 novels to people in thepark. The women received them gratefully, but not one man would accept a book. "Nah, nah, mate, not for me, thanks
The conclusion McEwan drew is : When women stop reading, the novel will be dead."
Do you think he is right?
