>>25030670Young men only read fiction if there’s some sense of edginess or subversiveness for them in doing so, websites like 4chan short circuit that need and feed it for them A book has to otherwise be directly seen as “helpful” or “practical” for a young man to want to read nowadays
>>25030689Where else do you find your books to read? God damn Goodreads????
they're all 14-24 year olds looking for a way to fast-track their path to manliness becuase they're rightfully insecure in thinking porn and video games stunted them permanently as humans. so of course it's all gonna be self-help adjacent slop for gullible morons. digital equivalent of pic rel.
>>25030704>Where do you find books to read?Start reading the classics and the major books from different literary movements to develop taste. From that point on it's just a matter of research and learning about authors to figure out if you'd be interested in their works.

>>25030670>search up "cool books for guys" expecting fun fantasy / sci-fi / action booksso what, like deathlands and mack bolan stuff? they stopped making those around a decade ago
>>25030755>>25030774You could apply the advice given to whatever genre you're interested in. Surely you're not too dense to understand that there are sci-fi classics and distinct movements within sci-fi which have exemplary works?

>>25030689LOL
>>25030670Hustle culture on social media made all this shit relevant to a new generation. Used to be boomerslop at airport shops. Also the “genius” biographies on retards like Musk or Bill Gates. You read them so you too can be a billionaire! The fitbro GRINDSET books are an offshoot. All the Jocko, Goggins type books about being a tough badass is the same aspirational shit for the guys who aren’t gonna make billions. Peterschwein occupies some realm in the middle with his “psychology” hokum self help that veers into performative christianity to capture that segment of the market.
>>25030774>reading the classics is about getting women broBuckbroken by hustle culture.
>>25030704Used book stores and being born before 1990 so I was able to find lots of good stuff in regular retail stores as well before Amazon killed them all.

>>25030670I'm a handsome guy in my late 20s and people have told me I have a "radio voice". Should I make a Youtube channel where I review smut slop for women to farm ad revenue?

>>25030670Idk, just judging from the thumbnail it seems like a pretty decent list of beginner recommendations. What's the big deal?
Males became cattle, no higher self or artistic sensibilities anymore.
>>25030670>go to YouTube>expect manliness >act surprised it isn't The place is somehow less manly than 4chan
>>25030670women took over literature and decided to fill it with their retarded sexual fantasies
>>25035835This is why I decided to write, though. Isn't it cringepilled and based to write about your sexual fantasies? That's what half of 4chan is! I'm serious. I asked myself the question: should I feel existentially wretched for having desire? And I went from feeling like a degenerate who likes something disgusting into someone who sees the beauty in everything just by embracing my fantasy through prose. I've also decided to learn how to draw women.On a slightly unrelated note, I enjoyed >Irma Voth >At the Atocha Station>The Kite Runner>A thousand Splendid Suns>Nausea>No Longer Human>Catcher in the Rye>The Great GatsbyAnd I'm currently reading >The City and it's Uncertain Walls>moby dickFor non fiction read >Food Of The Gods>Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them
