Looking at my bookshelves, I see an overwhelming majority of male authors but I don’t think I’ve never chosen a book based on the author’s gender. I used to queue up at midnight for the new Harry Potter books and have read many female SF and fantasy authors, such as Ursula LeGuin and Octavia Butler.
I definitely don’t base my reading on the protagonist’s gender. Who would not love Modesty Blaise, Greg Rucka’s Tara Chase or Lyra from His Dark Materials, for example?
