Any book suggestions about becoming a man/hero? Things like developing an understanding of honor, duty, what it means to be a man, and your place in society. Gilgamesh, All Quiet on the Western Front, Beowulf, The Odyssey, etc.

Been feeling out of place in the world lately, was thinking these might help set things straight.

I’m young, just out of college. Looking for guidance which I guess means finding which station I’m in still.

Your place in society is a sedentary salaried job and all there is to virtue and manhood are commodified signifiers

books are fun tho
