Women buy 80% of all novels. But as a new book argues, their love of emotional truth has been used to trivialise the genre

The narrator of Anna Burns’s Booker prize-winning novel, Milkman, likes to read on her way to work, even as she walks. Her preference is 19th-century novels. She likes to retreat to “the safety of the scroll and papyrus of earlier centuries”.

Let it die.

Let's hear it for all the lovely ladies out tbere!

Without women we are extinct.

Wow. There really are some shit replies here 😂

'According to Nielsen Book Research, women outbuy men in all categories of novel except fantasy, science fiction and horror.' Shouldn't this also be the case for techno-thrillers, spy novels, and similar 'action/conspiracy' stuff?

Without women the human race would die. Doh. Don't discuss.

'Treat women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers' - Muhammad Gods Messenger 'Treat women kindly, if you hate a thing in them, it may be that you dislike a thing while God has placed in it alot of good' - Quran 4:19

Women have a lot of free time apparently.

Yes because women fantasise more than men.

Is this another of those guardian fake headlines?

They buy awful shit novels though.

Serial rapist Joseph McCann found guilty of attacks on women and childrenJoseph McCann was freed on a probation error before he attacked 11 victims aged between 11 and 71 during his terrifying crime spree in Watford, London and the North West The Judge will describe McCann as a highly dangerous individual who poses a very serious threat to women and children before sentencing him to multiple life sentences with a recommendation that he serves a minimum of 12 years ! I truely hope I am wrong. Only a rope is sufficient. No matter what the sentence it won’t be enough he will be segregated for safety but fellow prisoners will dispense their own form of justice I do not condone such action but simply think it inevitable Just hope the prison officers on duty don’t get the blame (as they usually do)
