Ok, so firstly - I'm a man, so this list is just a bit of fun and I suppose some satire given the current environment. Secondly, I'm a passionate reader, and some of my favourite books include Pride and Prejudice, Middlemarch, Wuthering Heights, Gone with the Wind, A Little Life, The Secret History and many more. I'm basically telling you that I'm not a misogynist, which I suppose is what this list is a bit about.
My friends dared me to come up with a list of decent books that men who might be insecure about reading books would be willing to read. And let me say that many of the books in this list are excellent books - I'm not denigrating the books here, of which I own many. On their own, however, I don't think they would be a balanced reading list, but it's better than reading nothing. So, is this a 'MAN'S' list? Haha, just enjoy.
