My wife reads John Sanford and Lee Child and some Tom Clancy - mostly when I
get them, but she's brought home a few.  I classify those as male fantasy -
don't know how others do.  She isn't in to romance or fantasy genre much,
male or female - the preceding is is about as far as she goes.  Most fiction
she reads has to have some human interest story.   OTOH (I think) she
watches House, ER, and Numb3rs regularly.  Mostly when  doing something
else, too.
