There are several men on this forum who enjoy reading Gothics. I once thought it unusual, but now I can see several reasons why they would like it.

We have absurd ideas about what men and women should read. Reading fiction is escapism, and gothics are fun for that. Men may not relate to the heroines, but I'm sure they can imagine themselves in the role of the heroes.

Now that I travel on public transport, I can read while commuting to work, so I don't mind reading in public. But, a TV or even YouTube on the computer can be very distracting.
