Need to find a book for a guy?

Question

Ok so I'm not a big reader, but I would love to start maybe reading a book slowly maybe once or twice a week. I want a book that I can maybe relate too. So maybe about a guy in his mid twenty's and about life and it's choices and woundering where life might take him. Is there such a book? Or one like it? can be fiction or non fiction. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Well, if you want to read once or twice a week, I'd suggest an anthology of short stories. That way you can read a story or two at a time.

A good book that I would recommend is Light at the edge of Darkness. It is a mixture of different genres and is all about choices! Not all the characters are men, but I'd say that over half of the stories are man-types.

Answer 2

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Notes of a Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski
Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

Answer 3

Try something like Blind Mans Bluff, about the secret war between the two superpowers. Kinda reads like a real-life "Hunt for Red October".

Answer 4

October Sky by Homer Hickam.

Answer 5

I would suggest The House of Leaves .. it is a great book.. Don't get me wrong, it's a challenge, BUT, it's worth it.. and if you plan on reading it slowly.. it's a great idea..

Another good one is Monstrous:The Autobiography of a serial killer but for the grace of god by Tommy Walker (It's not a religious book.. it's just very interesting.)
