48 responses from registered members is a little over 2% of the total, median age is in the 40s. Safehold a bit ago from 40 responses was in the 50s. Note this is of us rabid fans not of the people who buy the books as a whole. As always the more responses the better the number. keep plugging.

Just as long as it is only the insurance companies that don't like you driving and not the local police.

Old Enough to disparage and complain about the rudeness of the 'kids', young enough to invite disparagement from my elders over my uncouthness :D

Also - Old enough to be able to comfortably comment about my misspent youth, and young enough to still have youth to misspend.

I prefer my Great Uncles out look on life. "Growing old is mandatory, Growing up is optional". This from a guy, who at age 85 went around the block on a pair of old fashioned steel roller skates.

The only thing that is surprising me is the number of readers under the age of fourty. It is nice to see that the younger people also appreciate his work.

Hi pokermind

My age is no secret (see my stats on these forums)

I turned 76yrs two days after last Christmas [My scheduled arrival was Christmas day -- but I was late -- and I've had trouble arriving on tme ever since :lol: ]

I 've been told that "wisdom comes with age"
- - - BUT - - -
sometimes, age comes alone :lol:

In my case, the jury's still out !!

I was thinking physical. By the by if you also read the Safehold series I put a similar poll there and, please vote there too. Might be fun to see if there's a difference in the age of readers in the series. :D

Hi Chief Pete,

"If you wish peace prepare for war." one of my favorite Roman sayings. Well I ain't been spaced yet so, you don't owe Mange a lobster.

Well the median age is in the 40s for both Safehold and Honorverse now. Quick and dirty way to get the median or the age age in middle: take number of responses and divide by two,

IE for Safehold: 75/2=37.5 Add responses from either end till you find the group where that middle is IE 70s 4 80s 8 50s 14 40s 12

4+8+14= 36 < 37.5 +12=46 > 37.5 therefore median in the 40s.

for Honorverse: 73/2= 36.5 Adding responses from either end, I'll go from 70s down 70s 5, 60s 10, 50s 14, 40s 16

5+10+14 = 29 < 36.5 + 16 = 45 > 36.5 therefore median age is in the 40s
