Top 10 Books Every Man Should Read
Whether self-help or best-selling, these top books for men make for a great addition to the library or a collection. Check them out!
There's a certain kind of conversation you have from time to time at parties in New York about a new book. The word "banal" sometimes rears its by-now banal head; you say 'under-edited,' I say 'derivative.' The conversation goes around and around various literary criticisms, and by the time it moves on one thing is clear; no one read the book; we just read the reviews.
For some, reading is an undying passion, while for some, it's a companion they just pass time with. For whatever reason you pick up a book, it's bound to take you places without you moving a single finger. That's the power they possess. In this article, I've listed some of the best books for men. These include self-help books, fiction, non-fiction, etc. While you'll find some books that have crossed the 100-million-copies-sold milestone, you'll find some that are not even known.
