As a boy growing up what got me into reading was reading books with male protagonists. I loved Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Peter and the Star Catchers, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Rangers Apprentice books growing up. Boys need stories they can relate to.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelvesβand a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

Shocker!!! The countries with the richest people have the least poverty.
1. More billionaires are associated with less poverty.
2. Increasing billionaires per capita by ten fold lowers poverty by 43 percentage points.
3. Sweden has more billionaires per 10M people than the U.S. (34 vs 30)
4. Correlation is fairly strong (R-squared of 0.6 for two variable cross-section data)
4. Since the graph is only a correlation, what do you think is the cause?
