> "[W]ord of mouth" is probably mostly for girls. I never once had a boy tell me growing up that I needed to read a particular book
Crazy gender stereotype based on just anecdotes (nothing wrong with saying it tho, its always awesome to hear about different experiences)
Most of the books that changed my life, got me into tech, programming, got me into business, entrepreneurship, hustle, etc.
All the books, podcasts, etc were either shared directly to me by my male friends (im male too) who insisted i read those books for my betterment cuz those books were acc. to them : “Awesome” , or books that i discovered while exchange discussions about what books are we reading right now, exchanging reading lists, etc.
There are tons of girls out there who hate reading books, (my mom included, she always has hated books, outside of school homework and exams),
I do not like reading fiction books much, nor do my peers, we’ve exchanged book suggestions since childhood, now even more with more and more internet friends.
Ive had great books on gardening, or agriculture, or history, etc recommended to me either inside books by authors, or by random telegram groups consisting mostly of nerd men.
99% of the books recommended to me were by men, and im a man.
So i dont think its a girl only thing, plenty of people exchanging book, just go to any major reddit forum on reading and booksuggestions (like r/suggestmeabook) and you’ll find tons of men who are more than happy to give you suggestions, if you cannot find classmates or neighbours to share with
