few readers vs few of the readers

Both "few readers" and "few of the readers" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Few readers" is used when referring to a small number of readers in general, while "few of the readers" is used when referring to a specific group of readers. The choice between the two depends on whether you are talking about readers in general or a particular subset of readers.
