Fiction Books for Men to Read. Just over a year ago, we wrote a post on why men should read more fiction. I asked readers to suggest their favorite pieces of manly fiction in the comments so I could create a master “Ao. M Fiction for Men” list. We got a really good response, and we finally finished compiling the suggestions into a list. Veganism extends from observing a vegan diet—which is a diet that includes no animals or animal products of any kind—to an entire lifestyle that precludes animal. Competitive Bodybuilder Layne Norton teaches bodybuilding tips and tricks for success. If you’re looking for some ideas on what to read this summer, check it out. The list has a nice mix of genres so you’re bound to find something that suits your tastes. I’ve added several of them to my own “to- read” list. If you have any more recommendations for books you think an Ao. M Man would enjoy, please share them in the comments, and we’ll add them to the master list. Enjoy! American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Shadow Moon tries to rebuild his life after being released from prison, but gets caught up in a showdown between the old gods who came over to America with the country’s early immigrants and the new gods “of credit card and freeway, of Internet and telephone, of radio and hospital and television, gods of plastic and of beeper and of neon.” Musings about the role of technology in modern life and the meaning of death, set in the real and mythical American landscape. Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. This long novel leaps between the story of a secret WWII Allied unit who try to keep the Nazis from discovering they have cracked their Enigma code, and the cryptanalysts’ grandchildren who seek to create a secure data haven in the modern age, and discover a far- reaching conspiracy in the process. A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Readers said that the Princess of Mars is much, much better than the blockbuster movie- version flop John Carter. This book is the first in the Barsoom series, consisting of ten novels, the first five of which, it should be noted, are available for free at Project Gutenberg. This sci- fi adventure is said to have inspired some of the science fiction greats like Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and others. Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. This historical novel is a fictionalized account of real- life Samurai warrior Miyamoto Musashi as he seeks to master not only the Way of the Sword, but the path to honorable, spirited manliness. Musashi is famous in Japan for being a master swordsman and also writing the philosophy/tactical work, The Book of Five Rings, which is still studied today. The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach. This book received a ton of accolades when it was published in 2. NY Times Top Ten of the Year and Amazon’s Best Book of the Year. USA Today said this about it: “The Art of Fielding belongs in the upper echelon of anybody’s league, in this case alongside Bernard Malamud’s The Natural, Scott Lasser’s Battle Creek, and W. P. Kinsella’s Shoeless Joe.” I read this book earlier this year and really enjoyed it. It’s a coming- of- age story with baseball serving as the backdrop. One of the better modern novels I’ve read in a long time. Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J. R. R. This well- known fantasy favorite was unsurprisingly recommended numerous times by readers. Follow Frodo Baggins and his trustworthy friend Samwise Gamgee and learn about friendship, loyalty, dedication to a good cause, and many other manly virtues. You’ll also find one of the wisest characters in literature in Gandalf. Tolkien had one of the greatest imaginations of his time and created an entire LOTR universe, complete with new languages, maps of various lands, and even histories of how these lands came to be. If you’re interested in some of the Middle- earth back story, get your hands on The Silmarillion. From Here to Eternity by James Jones. I read From Here to Eternity this year at my father- in- law’s suggestion. One of the best war novels I’ve read. The movie adaptation from 1. Top 1. 00 Movies list, so be sure to check that out as well. Set in Hawaii, the novel is loosely based on author James Jones’ own experiences. Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. This is a behemoth of a book, coming in at over half a million words, but from what people say, the effort is well worth it. Wallace took the title from a line in Hamlet (another work that all men should read), and although he committed suicide in 2. As this is his magnum opus, it’s a great place to start. The Spy Who Came in from the Coldby John le Carr. Check out his most lauded work and what is often called the greatest spy novel of all time, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. This particular novel was influential in informing the public about common Cold War espionage practices. Whereas James Bond novels and movies romanticize the world of spies, le Carre gives us brutal realism. Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. Many readers suggested checking out the work of Sir Walter Scott, who James Bowman called “the man who did the most to resuscitate honor for the modern era.” This work from 1. We also see appearances from Knights Templar and Robin Hood (Locksley, in this novel). What fella doesn’t want to read about that? Available for free as an ebook. Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry. This book was recommended to me by small town advocate, Uncle Buzz. Turned out to be one of my favorite books of all time. A book about the life and unrequited love of a rural barber named Jayber Crow. From his barber chair, he learns about listening, community, life’s tough questions, and much more. The book really made me want to move to the country to become a barber. World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks. This popular book is a fictional account of the zombie war, told from the point of view of a journalist who is conducting interviews many years later. It’s not so much blood and gore, but about the political and sociological ramifications of such a catastrophe. It’s set as a series of interviews, so it somewhat lacks a cohesive plot, but it’s still riveting. I’ve also heard the audio version of this is fantastic. You’ll want to read/listen to it before this summer’s release of the film version starring Brad Pitt. The Aubrey/Maturin Series by Patrick O’Brian. Reader Tom Smedely said this of the 2. Patrick O’Brian’s novels probe the mysteries of manliness. Master and Commander take us into a lost world of wooden ships and iron men. Even a patriotic American will find himself grieving the setbacks of the British navy during the War of 1. Even more awesome is that the series closely follows the heroics of real- life captain Thomas Cochrane. Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis. One of the best novels on what it means to get in touch with your inner Wild Man. The narrator is a young intellectual who is in love with his books. After a stinging encounter, he decides to leave his books behind for a while, and do some self- discovery. You’ll be dancing and shouting “Opa!” like Zorba by the end. All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren. This 1. 94. 7 Pulitzer winner is one of the best pieces of political fiction ever written. It’s loosely based on the career of Louisiana governor Huey P. Interestingly enough, the author said it was “never meant to be a book about politics.” Indeed, there are larger lessons about humanity to be learned, and this is a great example of how hubris can destroy a man. Independent People by Halld. Reader Jordan explains this pick: “Iceland’s Laxness won the Nobel Prize in Literature the year after another great manly fiction writer, Hemingway. Independent People is his most important work about an Icelandic farmer who strives to be his own independent man when all else is against him. Laxness’ prose captures the harsh beauty of the Icelandic way of life and poetically blends myth and reality in this moving epic.”Legends of the Fall by Jim Harrison. You’ve seen the movie, now read the novella that it’s based on. Here’s what dannyb. Harrison: “Nobody writes better concerning the 2. Ignore the movie, the novella Legends of the Fall is one of the greatest works in modern American Fiction.”Lonesome Dove by Larry Mc. Murtry. I kicked off 2. Western. It’s a new favorite of mine, and I can’t wait to read it again in a few years. Another Pulitzer winner here, this is the third installment of the Lonesome Dove series of four novels (although the first published). This story of some retired cattle drivers carries lots of insight on what it means to be a man (look for a post in the future on that very theme!). Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. This oft- suggested sci- fi classic is supposedly one of the funniest books ever written. It’s been on my to- read list for while. Think I’ll get to it next. This wildly successful franchise includes six novels, video games, stage acts, TV series, movies, comic books, etc. Must have somethin’ going for it! Masters of Rome Series by Colleen Mc. Cullough. If you’re a Roman history buff, reader Evan M. It chronicles the end of the Roman empire and the lives and careers of Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Pompeius Magnus, and Gaius Julius Caesar. There are seven books in the series. For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway. Naturally, several readers suggested “anything by Hemingway.” If you’ve never read Hemingway, start with For Whom the Bell Tolls. In the novel, we follow the experiences of a young American dynamiter in the Spanish Civil War. Much of it is pulled from Hemingway’s own experiences as a journalist reporting on the war. A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Thanks to HBO, many gents are now discovering this series. A Game of Thrones is the first of the five- part series (with more coming) which is a classic fantasy epic set in a world invented by Martin. The series is known for killing off main characters to keep you on your toes. Blood Meridian or The Road by Cormac Mc. Carthy. Lots of commenters said, “Anything by Cormac Mc. Carthy,” and I couldn’t agree more. Blood Meridian explores the violence between Native Americans and the white settlers in the 1. The Road follows a father and son as they walk through a post- apocalyptic America. Both terrifying and touching — one of the only books that has ever made me cry. List of vegans - Wikipedia. Ingrid Newkirk, British president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Veganism extends from observing a vegan diet—which is a diet that includes no animals or animal products of any kind—to an entire lifestyle that precludes animal products from all aspects of life. Besides food, vegans may also choose to avoid clothes that utilise products such as leather and fur, cosmetics that have been tested on animals, and blood sports such as bullfighting and fox hunting. People who adopt veganism for ethical reasons will often avoid or boycott all products or activities where their production or undertaking is perceived to exploit animals. All the people on this list are understood to adhere to a vegan diet, although their veganism may extend beyond just a dietary commitment. See also. Muzic. net. Palmerston North.
