Anecdotally I observed a distinct gender gap in reading material preferences between the sexes. So much so that I wanted to test that and see whether this would be a reasonable way to segment reading material. My recently launched site [1] is based on measuring and presenting the gender split of readers of any book (and how each sex rate the book) on the assumption that men and women often enjoy different reading material. The data I've gathered so far seems to validate that assumption and points towards substantial gender bias for a great many books. I'm currently in the process of writing a blog post highlighting the most frequently used words in book titles favoured by women vs. men based on the data I've collected. This is my first dip into the "MI" of the data but, despite the simplicity of the initial analysis, again the data shows there is a pronounced difference. What might be interesting is some sort of combination of the datasets. Such as using an individuals reading history to categorise their "average gender preference" for books [2] and how might relate to their choice of dating partners and their book gender preference. It's an interesting proposition and I like the clean look of the site and it's simple workflow. I'll be following your progress with interest. 1. http://www.bookhu.com http://www.bookhu.com 2. If such a thing even exists - just a hypothesis that needs to be tested at the moment
