100 Must-Read Books for Men

My 9th & final list based on Bloomsbury's Good Reading Guide series(the 10th book on Graphic Novels is not available apparently at Chapters or on Amazon). This one was written by Stephen E. Andrews(who co-wrote 2 others in the series) & Duncan Bowis. Many books here you won't find on any other list. Crime novels, spy thrillers, books on soccer(football) & rugby, bios, sci-fi, comedies & even a graphic novel, something for every man. Authors range from Herman Melville & Jack London, to Cormac McCarthy & Chuck Palanhuik. Even a couple of female writers are mentioned. As the book was published in 2008, the inclusion of now-disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong was obviously before his doping scandal. If you don't know who's in the list picture, it's Murdoc(Dwight Schulz) from "The A-Team", my favorite character on that show.
