The only reason you might feel your knowledge of being a man is inadequate is if you never had a strong male role model as a child. You don't get that from reading a fucking book.

Talking to my dad taught me a lot more about being a man than books ever did. That being said there are a lot of positive male role models in books. The father in the road was a good example in that he did everything possible to ensure his son's survival

To think like a man is to think seriously, and to take thinking seriously. This book inspired a commitment to serious and careful thinking when I was a teenager. Carl Sagan was agnostic but religious as fuck, his spirituality was the holy pursuit of understanding and discovery of the world.

There's many other intellectual role-models of extremely high quality that have successfully inspired the same determined commitment to knowledge in others, but Carl Sagan was one who touched me through a love of astronomy.

Thread is about books that made you a man, not a god.

First of all, I like McCarthy. I like what he knows, what he thinks, but The Road showed me that part of human nature that is kept at bay by civilization and the rule of law. I think the book explores the essence of what it means to be a man. To protect and provide, but also shows the opposite of male values, to subdue, to devour.

Damn how I'd like to drink and talk with you about McCarthy.

Based. Basically cyberpunk in-human poetry.

Can you expand on your idea that Sagan was religious as fuck?

Exactly why I love The Road, anon. I’m curious, what are some other male role models you appreciate in literature?
