gender-conscious novels

A tale of two genders: men choose novels of alienation, while women go for passion

I'm more 'male' in my reading habits...my most favourite books are from the 'male' list, like 'The Catcher in the Rye', 'High Fidelity', '1984' etc. Maybe I just have too much anger in me. None of the books in the 'female' lists spoke to me that much; I've never been a big fan of Jane Austen or the Bronte sisters.
