Ok, a 1937 dollar is equivalent to $21 or so today. Still it’s remarkable.

And with the stroke of a pen they rewrote history.
No more colonies.
If only they remembered to mention reparations for the descendants of the colonists 250 years later.
And no more calling names like yanks and chaps.

Basically, blokes love to read pretentious philosophical shite, horrendous political books, or comics.

There could also be sex differences on propensity to review books online.
It would be interesting to see this normalized by total number of reviews by genre. You’d then see a relative lead among men in most of the non-fiction segments.

New Shoes
Isn't that wonderful?
My mum said that when she was a little girl she'd walk up the road to watch the blacksmith at work. It seems so strange from a modern perspective, but she was only born in 1930, so really not that long ago - and this wasn't really out in the sticks, it was a suburb of Manchester.
