I dare proclaim that Machiavelli is the most misunderstood author, and people who recommend 'The Prince' are people LARPing INTJ's "oh so cold and manly" wannabe psycopaths.

Its ok I guess. Its basically just a high school reading list, some shitty American novels and some all-time classics.

As someone who spent very little time with his father growing up, I actually like this site. However, the list of books that is supposed to be mandatory male reading made me throw up. Read whatever you want and not what other consider to be a 10/10 masterpiece.

A little too much anglo-american lit, but if someone told me they had read all of these books (read as in: knew them well, not just consumed them), I would consider them well-read and would probably be able to have a stimulating conversation with them
