Real men...
You’ve heard that “real men” don’t ask directions and don’t eat quiche, but according to the new blog The Art of Manliness, here’s something real men do — read.
The Art of Manliness just published a list of 100 Must-Read Books: The Essential Man’s Library. The list ranges widely from Niccolo Machiavelli’s “The Prince” to our own Hoosier Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five” and 98 in between.
While you’re reading, you can always remember Brad Paisley singing “Oh thank God, I’m still a guy.”
So… what books on the list have you liked? What’s missing from the list?
Also, send in your own book reviews, and tell us what’s worth reading. It can be on anything from non-fiction to graphic novels.
To start us off, here’s Jim Smitley…
“Flight of the Gin Fizz: Mid-life at 4,500 feet” by Henry Kisor…
I enjoyed reading this book… The author is very good at explaining the world of deaf pilots and the perils of everyday flying. His flight across the country followed that of the historic 1911 cross-country flight of the “Vin Fizz”, and gave both the author’s side of what happened and what happened to the 1911 flyer. Good book.
