Dann Anthony replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"I second that emotion. Also for the sparks of manliness in the boy. There were a number of hard decisions to make, and the father feeling charged with protecting the boy was ruthless, by necessity. But at times the boy felt the need to be the…"

Dann Anthony replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"Well, you've convinced me. I forgot about Ryan, who's a great character.
I made a similar point about "Deerslayer" - simple priorities gave the character a moral compass that never failed him.

Paul Ammons replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"I rather enjoy books of the Child/Baldacci genre. Do these fictional pieces "provide any value in learning 'The Art of Manliness," you ask? I'll give that an unqualified, yes.
Manly men adopt a code of conduct based…"
Dann Anthony replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"Am casting a strong vote for "The Deerslayer," by JF Cooper. Introduces Natty Bumppo, aka Deerslayer (and later Hawkeye). Written late 1840s. Deerslayer constantly questions his duty - to protect strangers, to a girl who loves him…"
Vytautas replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"I would argue that Austen is just objectively good and anyone who disagrees is a philistine!

Will replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"Credit where credit's due: chick lit is not necessarily fluff. From Wuthering Heights to Fried Green Tomatoes, there's some pretty good stuff out there. In my favorite area, SF, there's The Silver Metal Lover and…"
Jack Bauer replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"I definitely don't remember it being fun. Maybe you're talking about the zombie version. Heh.

Will replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"Lost in the Cosmos: the Last Self-Help Guide (Percy). Philosopher Peter Kreeft, who apparently teaches (college?) said that when he assigned this as reading, nobody got that it was satire, and they answered the paradoxical "quiz…"
Dann Anthony replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!""Emma" pits two interesting male characters against one another, and Emma makes a poor choice; she goes for the more dashing smug git who winds up getting married behind her back (having neglected to mention he was betrothed), versus the…"
Dann Anthony replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!""Many men here aren't going to speak up as much as me..."
That's one way to look at it. Another is, they're not going to waste as much time doing it.
And they'll read more carefully - I never used the word…"
Nathanael replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"Austen is decidedly not chick-lit. The romance in them is not of the fantasy wish-fulfillment sort. Austen is witty, incisive, grown-up (not the best word, perhaps, but I want to emphasize that this is not adolescent dreck), and…"
Vytautas replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"Really any Austen is good for everyone, and perhaps especially men because they eschew it and write it off as chick-flick so easily. It's really great writing, awesome plots, memorable characters, and keen insight into human nature sharpened by…"
Jack Bauer replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"Never thought of Pride and Prejudice as 'fiction for men'. Nearly put me into a coma back in high school. The parts of Austen I've read had a distinctly chick-flick feel.

Vytautas replied to Jeremy Anderberg's discussion Fiction for Men -- Need Your Recommendations!"The tragedy of Moby-Dick is that the things which we all desire as human beings will ultimately be our undoing."
