According to a new survey, most people in Britain prefer to read books by writers of their own gender¹ -- and tend to read fewer of those written by the opposite sex.

最新的一项调查显示，大多数英国人更喜欢阅读与自己性别相同作家的著作，而倾向于去阅读异性作家作品的则少之又少。

The research, which comes after claims of sexism in publishing, found a stark² gender divide in reading habits in the 40,000 people polled.

Male authors accounted for 90 percent of men’s 50 most-read titles this year, while the reverse was true for the women’s titles.

According to Goodreads, the reading website which collated³ the research, female readers also rate books by female writers more highly.

On average, women rated books by women 4 out of 5 and books by men 3.8 out of 5.

A website spokesman said: ‘Ultimately, when it comes to the most popular 2014 books on Goodreads we are still sticking to our own sex.’
