Publishers need to 're-masculate' books

I think products like the kindle will make books cool again for men.

Sure,with a joystick so we can shoot words? honk honk

What comes out of this very well writen article,using beautifull expression "Serial Shelvers" or "Double Bookers" (so very typical of marketing journalisme)is that in writing about football or use male protagonists,male(honk honk) should go back to reading.A very fine analyse if you ask me.Really smart.
Nudes every 10 pages could help too.
I'm not entering the quality versus quantity argument feeling not need to defend my fellow male(honk honk) whom,in general it's true,stayed closer to there primates ancertors than women.
The big women marketing i s'pose is in the crime section,lot's of those,and i see how my wife goes at them as if there was not tomorrow.The male detective has been tried in the past and still is but and work with mane with already an interest for books,even slight.
None reader will not be turned into reader by marketing ideas,even if you print book on football player shirts or tattoed them Miss April*.
This is a jack Nutgeit concept.


Edit:this could work but would proove not cost efficent(marketing terme?)
 
- Put Jean-Claude Van Damme on the cover. Or Chuck Norris.
- Blow shit up every third page.
- In fact, that should be the title: Shit Blows Up Every Third Page. Real men don't like surprises.
- Insert random scenes of people eating raw meat.
- From deer they've slaughtered with their bare hands.
- From bears they've slaughtered with their dear hands works too.
- Have our intrepid heroes stand around discussing cars a lot inbetween blowing shit up and eating meat.
- While the women bring them beer.
- And fawn over their explanations of how a carburettor works.
- Three words: Jenna Jameson, novelist.
- Make sure to point out the swelling muscles of the hero. Not in a gay way, though.
- Acceptable endings:
a) The hero kills the bad guy, saves the world and gets the girl.
b) The hero kills the bad guy, saves the girl and gets the world.
 
Your wish is my command:

You may be closer to the truth then you think. Clive Cussler novels (Dirk Pitt series) are very popular with men. There is always hot car, typically a rare antique that Cussler owns in real life, and a hot girl (usually a redhead). (It always made me wonder if Clussler has a thing for redheads?) There are always manly activities (sking diving, hot boats), car chases and a bad guy that we want to see die a slow agonizing death.
