Why women read more than men

Via the Observer.

Women know how to read properly, while men have a desultory and, at best, casual approach to books

The researchers had also categorized 4 different types of readers: Page Turners, Slow Worms, Serial Shelver, and Double Booker.

Eu-Jin certainly reads a lot more books that I do, so I guess he's not a typical guy.  I do try to read about 1-2 books a month - a mix of fiction and non-fiction, although recently the books have been the non-fiction titles that Eu-Jin has lying around.  I am trying to avoid being a serial shelver, but the to-read pile is getting bigger (at least these are from the library, and not bought).  And I have always been somewhat of a double booker, reading several books at a go.
