Just found out that I'm going to be a father. What books can I read to prepare for this?

I'm not a poorfag. Actually just got a promotion today. Making really good money in software.

Right. 100% sure it's mine seeing as how it was IVF.

Fair enough. I'm just looking for literature featuring fathers worthy of emulation.

Just read anything you want and come to the realisation that no book will help you with real life issues like this one whether due to a fictional character's lack of realism or completely differing circumstances to your own, and that one who requires a book to tell him how to deal with his problems will never become an independent, strong father figure just like a man given fish cannot feed himself.

>take a realistic look at the risks of existence, the depth of horror that's possible, and the realization that it can and does happen to anybody
>realise you're literally gambling with the welfare of a sentient creature without its consent so that you can feel good for obliging the DNA molecule's agenda
