🇦🇺 📖 **Have Men Really Stopped Reading? We Take A Deeper Dive Into The Data**

"_It looks like reading statistics vary greatly depending on how the question is asked. Multiple surveys show that a significant proportion of males are still reading books, though they’re doing so less frequently than they used to. And it’s clear that if there is a crisis of declining reading rates, it is affecting men and women, boys and girls._"

Men aren't anywhere close to a coherent group.

There are men who are avid readers. There are men who are occasional readers. There are men who haven't read a book since high school.

Being less judgmental might help to get more people (and yes, that includes men) reading more books.

@zevon @bibliolater @bookstodon Most Americans of any gender have not read a book since High School.
