You're describing immature men with literary interests.
Melville and Jung (know nothing of the others) are incredibly common "core texts" for those showing interest areas literary, psychological, mythological, critical etc. in the beginning stages of becoming conversant within their chosen field of interest. Whether these men are on the path of: the pseud, self knowledge, intellectual masturbation, fulfillment etc. is not known.

She said she just finished Brothers Karamazov, meaning she's not only one of the few people I interact with that reads on their own volition, but is most likely better read than me.
