Jordan Peterson regularly claims that nobody buys books, and very few people read, especially men. And if men do read, they read non fiction. Personally i am an avid reader of both, fiction and non. I love the works of Dan Brown & Don Winslow. The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King May be my favorite novel series ever written. I’m curious where he gets this idea that men don’t read fiction, what measuring statistics are used to make that determination, and what other forms of media consumption are being considered when making that judgment. He challenges the idea of men reading fiction, then persistently claims how much insight we can learn from stories, and the great works of fiction. I love Jordan Peterson, consider myself a huge fan and follow his work and lectures closely, but this challenge of men reading fiction has always perplexed me. I proudly support authors and gladly buy a minimum of 2 books a month and don’t consider myself an anomaly. I believe as long as we have quality writers, which we certainly do today, we will always have readers.
