Reich-Ranicki and the women

Previously we believed that humanity is divided into those who appreciate books and occasionally even read, and others. No less than the major critic Marcel Reich-Ranicki has finally at the presentation of the German television price defines the demarcation line: the good guys here who are still nightly cultural programs about books chart, where the underclass from the television public-service program. Then jumped Elke Heidenreich her colleagues loudly at what they are, inter alia, with the loss of their jobs as a book-Vorstellerin had to pay.

But so simple, things are not. Even with the books friends, there are differences. Between men and women, for example. It was a fact, there Reich-Ranicki in the new "Cicero" on record "that the shipments of Elke reached a large audience, especially women ... It was just a show for women. And it is indeed the case that more Women than men read books. " Why? Because the men are working longer and do not have time. And times when they have time, they must read the newspaper, says Reich-Ranicki, "Women have more leisure for literature." And why did his "Literary Quartet" also called "on a different intellectual level" place the heath as the kingdom broadcast. Their "Buy this book! Not tomorrow, better today!" it was cheap advertising.

Reich-Ranicki, eventually weekly column "Ask Reich-Ranicki" served, it must know. I am a man, so I think even if I do not read. Nice if he can not express it. Forget the "Tellkamp" for Christmas and forth with the red wine. The "tower", we continue to women.
