Top 10 Books for Guys
Published on January 7, 2008 - 88 Comments
This list is intended to give guys a good guide for improving their libraries. While it does include two fictional works, most are non-fiction. The books here cover many of the various topics that fascinate men, nevertheless, all of these books would be enjoyed by the majority of women on this site as well. If you think of other books that suit the list, be sure to mention them in the comments and they may appear on a follow up list. Onwards, the top 10:
10. The Encyclopedia of Things that Never Were Robert Ingpen
This comprehensive compilation references myths and fantasies from around the world and spanning human history. Detailed yet succinct, the very readable articles are collected under seven topics and arranged alphabetically by subject. The diverse coverage examines myriad imagined powers and creatures from historical, sociological, cultural, and artistic perspectives, and while many of the ghosts, wizards, gremlins, gods, fairies, and so forth are familiar, many more, e.g., Hyperborea, Alulei, and Phaeton, are not. Each article summarizes the identity, definition, and aspects of the entity, drawing on material derived from classic studies in myth and lore.
9. Dangerous Book for Boys Conn and Hal Iggulden
Equal parts droll and gorgeous nostalgia book and heartfelt plea for a renewed sense of adventure in the lives of boys and men, Conn and Hal Iggulden’s The Dangerous Book for Boys became a mammoth bestseller in the United Kingdom in 2006. Adapted, in moderation, for American customs in this edition (cricket is gone, rugby remains; conkers are out, Navajo Code Talkers in), The Dangerous Book is a guide book for dads as well as their sons, as a reminder of lore and technique that have not yet been completely lost to the digital age. Recall the adventures of Scott of the Antarctic and the Battle of the Somme, relearn how to palm a coin, tan a skin, and, most charmingly, wrap a package in brown paper and string.
8. A Short History of Nearly Everything Bill Bryson
From primordial nothingness to this very moment, A Short History of Nearly Everything reports what happened and how humans figured it out. To accomplish this daunting literary task, Bill Bryson uses hundreds of sources, from popular science books to interviews with luminaries in various fields. His aim is to help people like him, who rejected stale school textbooks and dry explanations, to appreciate how we have used science to understand the smallest particles and the unimaginably vast expanses of space.
7. An Incomplete Education William wilson
You’ll find everything you forgot from school–as well as plenty you never even learned–in this all-purpose reference book, an instant classic when it first appeared in 1987. The updated version takes a whirlwind tour through 12 different disciplines, from American studies to philosophy to world history. Along the way, Judy Jones and William Wilson provide a plethora of useful information, from the plot of Othello to the difference between fission and fusion.
6. Fitness Training Handbook US Army
A soldier’s level of physical fitness has a direct impact on his combat readiness. The many battles in which American troops have fought underscore the important role physical fitness plays on the battlefield. The renewed nationwide interest in fitness has been accompanied by many research studies on the effects of regular participation in sound physical fitness programs. The overwhelming conclusion is that such programs enhance a person’s quality of life, improve productivity, and bring about positive physical and mental changes. Not only are physically fit soldiers essential to the Army, they are also more likely to lead enjoyable, productive lives. This is the book to guide you through the US Army fitness training routines.
5. Down These Mean Streets Piri Thomas
As a dark-skinned Puerto Rican, born in 1928, Piri Thomas faced with painful immediacy the absurd contradictions of America’s racial attitudes (among people of all colors) in a time of wrenching social change. Three decades have not dimmed the luster of his jazzy prose, rich in Hispanic rhythms and beat-generation slang. This book details the journey from machismo to manhood in the mean streets of Harlem.
4. Cosmos Carl Sagan
This visually stunning book with over 250 full-color illustrations, many of them never before published, is based on Carl Sagan’s thirteen-part television series. Told with Sagan’s remarkable ability to make scientific ideas both comprehensible and exciting, Cosmos is about science in its broadest human context, how science and civilization grew up together.
3. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Robert Pirsig
Arguably one of the most profoundly important essays ever written on the nature and significance of “quality” and definitely a necessary anodyne to the consequences of a modern world pathologically obsessed with quantity. Although set as a story of a cross-country trip on a motorcycle by a father and son, it is more nearly a journey through 2,000 years of Western philosophy. For some people, this has been a truly life-changing book.
2. The Road to Serfdom F A Hayek
A classic work in political philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general readers for half a century. Originally published in England in the spring of 1944—when Eleanor Roosevelt supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and barrel to the socialist program—The Road to Serfdom was seen as heretical for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means of production. This little book was said to have had definitive influence on such giants as Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan and many others. Perhaps the book’s influence was best attested to by its being banned in the USSR, China and many other totalitarian countries.
1. Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! Richard Feynman
Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! is an edited collection of reminiscences by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It details everything from his forays into hypnotism to his fascination with safe-cracking and his fondness for topless bars. The book also approaches more serious topics, such as the development of the atomic bomb and the death of Feynman’s first wife Arline Greenbaum from tuberculosis. My brother gave me a copy of this book and it has become one of my favorites - I guarantee that you will love it.

1. Tetrofosmin - January 7th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Another great book is Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson. It’s certainly worth checking out. Maybe not list material for you, but a great book anyway.
2. flgh - January 7th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Hey where’s Frank Herbert’s Dune?
3. Miss Destiny - January 7th, 2008 at 2:56 am
Hmm, I think I would like to check some a few of these out. I especially like the sounds of the Encyclopedia of Things that Never Were. Right up my alley, that one.
4. Scott - January 7th, 2008 at 3:06 am
I was wondering when you guys would update. Nearly all of those books make me salivate just reading the sypnosis.
5. Bondles - January 7th, 2008 at 3:13 am
Can’t have a list of books for guys without anything by Matt Riley. Totally lowbrow compared to anything on that list, but they read like Schwarzenegger movies.
For better stuff: Men really must read The Old Man and the Sea and The Grapes of Wrath.
6. fishing4monkeys - January 7th, 2008 at 3:52 am
Where’s World War Z? Guys like zombie stuff…haha
7. samehrocks - January 7th, 2008 at 5:15 am
This One should’ve been included: Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
8. caboose - January 7th, 2008 at 5:17 am
No ‘Alphabet of Manliness’, Not even as a bonus… anyway still a good list
9. Xavier - January 7th, 2008 at 5:40 am
I agree with caboose and samehrocks, Palahniuk and Maddox both belong on this list haha.
10. Columbo - January 7th, 2008 at 6:11 am
What about the ‘Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader’ series, those books are full of all kinds of interesting crap (ha ha ha).
P.S what the hell does anodyne mean?
11. dangorironhide - January 7th, 2008 at 6:14 am
caboose: That was the first book I thought of when I saw the title for this list!
12. heavybison - January 7th, 2008 at 6:20 am
I gotta check out some of these books too but i thought Catcher in the Rye deserved a mention as a very influential book.
13. Mystern - January 7th, 2008 at 6:46 am
I agree with caboose. Alphabet of Manliness is byfar the most manly book I’ve ever read. Though I can’t wait to read the items on this list.
14. Randall - January 7th, 2008 at 7:39 am
Nice list. You could argue about missing items, but all in all, well done.
15. JOE ROSSON - January 7th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Cool,I see you used my suggestion for The Encylopedia of Things That never Where,I told you it is a killer book.You should have put the Anarcists(sic) cookbook up as well.
16. krycek - January 7th, 2008 at 7:46 am
I’d like to second “Surely you’re joking, Mr. Feynman”. Admittedly, I am a chick, but I got Mr. krycek to read it and he loved it!
17. evan - January 7th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Definitely agree with caboose, should be an honorable mention. The Alphabet of Manliness
18. Clues - January 7th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is a great strategy guide for of course war but also for tactics in life. It would have made a great addition to this well done list
19. bucslim - January 7th, 2008 at 8:51 am
I liked the Von Hoffman Brothers “Big Damn Book of Sheer Manliness” - a good read about all things manly - for the sportsman, gambler, movies, chow, and the opposite sex. Maddox’s book was pretty funny along these lines too.
Probably could’ve mentioned something by Hemingway.
20. RobS - January 7th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Hyperborea! Been a long time since I read any Robt. E. Howard. I spent a lot of time in that fabled land when I was a kid.
21. justme - January 7th, 2008 at 9:10 am
what about the anarchist cookbook => great fun with dad
22. Philmont237 - January 7th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Dave Barry’s Complete Guide to Guys should have been on here. It is not serious at all but the examples of guy behavior that he displays are oh so true.
23. jfrater - January 7th, 2008 at 9:30 am
flgh: I tried to avoid Sci-Fi as we have a list of the best of those anyway (which includes Dune)
Bondles: Grapes of Wrath is brilliant - I agree - in fact virtually everything by Steinbeck would fit on an extended version of this list!
Samehrocks and Columbo: I love Chuck palahniuk and I would have considered him for a more fictional focused list
Oh - and anodyne is something that soothes or eases pain.
24. jfrater - January 7th, 2008 at 9:34 am
JOE ROSSON: I did - thanks for that suggestion - it started me off thinking about this list
I am going to be able to easily write another of these lists - the suggestions have all been excellent - thanks so far
25. LordCalvert - January 7th, 2008 at 10:12 am
The Von Hoffmann Bros. Big Damn Book of Sheer Manliness is a great book. It’s full of good info and stories aimed at us dudes.
26. mooster - January 7th, 2008 at 10:21 am
I’ve read #3 so many times I think I’ve got it memorized…fantastic book!
27. Midknight - January 7th, 2008 at 10:42 am
We needed a top ten list for women as well!
28. Schiesl - January 7th, 2008 at 10:56 am
alphabet of manliness. come on man. thats funny
29. Maynard - January 7th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Um, what about the ultimate boys book- The Catcher in the Rye? It’s a book every single man ever can relate to (and I imagine most girls could as well)
30. Maynard - January 7th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Oh, and Dick Masterson’s Men Are Better Than Women.
31. Maxx_the_Slash - January 7th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Shame on you for forgetting Maddox’s “Alphabet of Manliness”.
32. Mikkle - January 7th, 2008 at 11:50 am
the whole time i was reading this list, i was saying to myself, there has got to be some Palahniuk in here, and apparently from the comments, i’m not the only one! Great list nonetheless, I’m on amazon right now ordering some of these.
33. JOE ROSSON - January 7th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Yeah,JF. I got that book from a buddy of mine and just could not put it down.Oh,I got a scairy one for you,how bout The turner Diaries.LOL, that’s basicaly for hard right wingers,and I for one am not,I’m not a hard liberal either though, pretty much believe in live and let live.
34. wetsocks - January 7th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
No Alphabet of Manliness? A book so manly it needs to be shaved?
35. newsong - January 7th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Chauvinists, all of you. I don’t see a book on that list I wouldn’t want in my library. =)
36. jfrater - January 7th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
hey - I said I would do a second list - so keep the suggestions coming.
Oh - as for Catcher in the Rye, I found it a bit dull to be honest.
37. JT - January 7th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
THANK YOU JFRATER! Long have I been teased for my dislike for that silly, silly book, and I am happy to find someone who disagress with me. God I hated Catcher in the Rye - go read The Perks of Being a Wallflower if you want a GOOD book about teenage angst etc
38. kunle - January 7th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
another nice list j…, but are you not forgetting the book of books, the BIBLE?
39. Drewbacca - January 7th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Awesome! I have a few of those books, but had not read any except number one. I love it.
40. James - January 7th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Ya i definantly think that instead of an army training book it needs to be a marine training book because we all know 1 marine could kick 50 army guys asses at any given moment.
41. jfrater - January 7th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
James: a comment like that may cause quite a debate
42. jfrater - January 7th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
JT: I am glad to have support in that unpopular view too. I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about.
kunle: surely that is a book for all?
43. Afthought - January 7th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
One hopes you are being droll when you write, in re Hayak, “such giants as Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan,” for surely Thatcher and Reagan will be seen historically as complete flops, while Churchill’s stature was pulled from mediocrity only by the greatest slaughter of humanity in history.
44. Mom424 - January 7th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Totally excellent list, any one of these as a gift (’cept the army training manual), and I would be tickled pink….
ps; please no sloppy tearjerker stuff if you do a ladies list; lordy, I didn’t see Titanic for 2 1/2 years ‘cuz I knew he died at the end….i’m an easy crier…
45. Mom424 - January 7th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
afthought; i disagree with you, I think history will treat Thatcher well, Reagan poorly, and most people consider Churchill as history now…his claim to fame is exactly as you expressed, A great war-time leader, he wasn’t kept around for long when the war was done….
46. Gravy - January 7th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
My dad got me number 8, the “Dangerous” one, for Christmas. Its pretty cool. I read Cosmos, and it confirmed my thought that Carl Sagan is THE MAN! He’s also a stoner, which is cool.
BTW, why the lengthy pause between lists?
47. Ben Heitzman - January 7th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Bondles: The Grapes of Wrath is the most boring book ever.
Cather in the Rye should be on the list.
48. Tony - January 7th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
You guys forgot, The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox ;]
49. el duderino - January 7th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
The Dangerous Book for Boys is my 7 year old son’s current favorite. Now he wants to shoot, skin and roast a rabbitt the next time we go to the mountains. His mom will love that..
50. dick shoes - January 7th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
no alphabet of manliness?!?!?!
51. Cyn - January 7th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Gravy - J’s on holiday. the usual routine will be back in a week or so.
i know i sound like a broken record but..
please be patient and there are over 300 lists in archives to keep ya busy til the regular posting schedule resumes.
52. Kelsi - January 7th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
“THANK YOU JFRATER! Long have I been teased for my dislike for that silly, silly book, and I am happy to find someone who disagress with me. God I hated Catcher in the Rye - go read The Perks of Being a Wallflower if you want a GOOD book about teenage angst etc”
Wow, I could have written that word for word! Whenever I tell someone I didn’t like Catcher in the Rye they look at me like I have 3 heads. And I loved The Perks so much I gave it to my brother for Christmas now that I think he’s old enough to appreciate it, and he loved it too!
53. Jule - January 8th, 2008 at 12:28 am
It makes me so happy that people still read books out there AND talk about it.
PS: Love the list!
54. NZSpringy - January 8th, 2008 at 1:44 am
I like the sound of The Encyclopedia of Things that Never Were, A Short History of Nearly Everything, An Incomplete Education and Cosmos, think a trip to the bookshop is in order but before I go can we please have a list for the females here. Pretty please
55. shawn - January 8th, 2008 at 2:14 am
I would also recommend for sheer humor “The Lazlo Letters” and the sequel “Citizen Lazlo” (and apparently there is a second sequel I was unaware of) By Don “Father Guido Sarducci” Novello. It is Ali G/Borat before they existed. He wrote a series of absurd letters to famous people and corporations under the pseudonym Lazlo P. Toth starting in the ’70s and the books reprint them along with the answers.
56. pufonthis - January 8th, 2008 at 7:24 am
I suppose they could have called this list “Books for guys who like to read boring crap.”
That would have been a better title.
57. eric - January 8th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Bill Bryson’s book A Short History of Nearly Everything is one of my favorite books - he is a great and entertaining writer and storyteller. I have read this book at least a dozen times. ON the other hand, I got An Incomplete Education over my recent holiday and found the writing so annoying and distracting I left it at the hotel I was staying in.
58. heavybison - January 8th, 2008 at 8:46 am
To be honest i haven’t read the Catcher in the Rye either(ok, the first coupla pages out of curiosity). Just that so many freaks did so many terrible things drawing inspiration from that book (e.g Mark David Chapman)…thought there must be something to it..
59. Kelsi - January 8th, 2008 at 8:52 am
heavybison: There isn’t. Those people were freaks before they read the book, I’m sure that the inspiration they drew from it had to be minimal, nothing interesting happens throughout the book. =|
60. copperdragon - January 8th, 2008 at 9:26 am
got to put in my vote for the Iliad and the Odyssey. dont let the category of “poetry” fool you - these books are great war and adventure stories.
61. copperdragon - January 8th, 2008 at 9:33 am
i would also suggest a copy of the Boy Scout handbook. great guide for navigating the stars, tying knots, building campfires and so on.
62. JUSTINW - January 8th, 2008 at 9:57 am
this site has gotten stale. What happened to mulitiple lists daily? Gone downhill last few weeks… If you want hits you need to update! Gonna lose your traffic jf
63. evan - January 8th, 2008 at 10:03 am
jfrater is on vaction i believe for the week
64. Mom424 - January 8th, 2008 at 10:04 am
justinw; our esteemed site manager is home for the holidays,,,but yes I’m suffering withdrawal as well. It’s a quick addiction, like Crack, one hit and you gotta come back for more….
65. JT - January 8th, 2008 at 10:24 am
“One hopes you are being droll when you write, in re Hayak, “such giants as Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan,” for surely Thatcher and Reagan will be seen historically as complete flops, while Churchill’s stature was pulled from mediocrity only by the greatest slaughter of humanity in history.”
ARE YOU SERIOUS? Reagan I can’t comment on, but Thatcher is a legend, and will always be seen as a mythic figure, she turned Britain from a depressed mining island to the fianncial capital of the world in ten years, and is undoubtedly one of the greatest British prime ministers of the 20th century. Churchill won the war, he was always against appeasement, and he is simply one of the most iconic and inspirational figures of all time.
You must be some kind of whiny anarcho-communist if you can’t see the brilliance of these two people, who are already legends and icons in history.
66. Cyn - January 8th, 2008 at 11:18 am
if ya’ll wanna keep up w/ site news there are links to the forums and the blog at the upper right hand side of the front page. J’s been on holiday for a while so there have not been the usual multiple lists per day. once he’s ‘home’, more daily lists will resume. meanwhile there is an archive of over 300 lists. ongoing discussion and debate in comments. things to do at forums. and of course all these wonderful ads to click and buy stuff through.
i do appreciate your patience and participation. thank you!
67. PT - January 8th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
U tell ‘em Cyn
68. deep - January 8th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
man this stuff looks good. im on to borders, see y’all there.
69. Cyn - January 8th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
*wah*
Amazon?
70. evilk8 - January 8th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
I agree with Mr Frater that Catcher in the Rye is one of the most banal books I’ve ever had the misfortune to read. I only read it because of the association with John Lennon’s assignation and the attempted assignation of Reagan.
There’s the theory that it’s only studied at school because of the ‘optimism’ at the end of the book is meant to illustrate that everyone goes through an alienation stage as a young adult. Although I’m sure that some teachers set it because of the naughty words
71. jfried620 - January 8th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
It is understandable why many of you would dislike Catcher in the Rye. I am someone who enjoyed the book however it did seem, at points, long, tedious, and incoherent. Many people’s dislike of the book seems to be because it is virtually about nothing. By that I mean there is no deep, engrossing back story that propels it and therefore it is just a chronicle of Holden Caulfield’s experiences in life. Some of the things he goes through are very real but some are also exaggerated in order to move along plot. I appreciate J.D. Salinger’s effort because, as a young writer, I know how hard it is to create a captivating, immersing story while simultaneously trying to get a point across. In this regard Salinger does a great job and I admire his abilities as a writer. Stream of Consciousness is one of the toughest genres to write, and so to create a 200+ page book in that style is admirable. Just thought I’d give my opinion on the matter
72. Ginger Lee - January 9th, 2008 at 1:56 am
I liked some of the psycho-sexual undertones in Catcher in the Rye, but in the end it doesn’t live up to it’s hype.
I never get weird looks when I express my opinions of Catcher in the Rye…maybe cause I live in Utah where everybody and their Aunt is scared shitless of reality (however droll it is).
73. heavybison - January 9th, 2008 at 2:54 am
There see…now the catcher worms are coming out of the woodwork slowly..i knew there was something abt that book..
74. roxy - January 9th, 2008 at 7:16 am
What a great list! As soon as I saw the title, my interest was peaked. As I began reading, I thought “a list of book for men? Bill Bryson’s A Short History should be here!” and whoa, it was! That book is soooo phenomenal, I read it about a years or so ago.
Another author many are not familiar with but who is equally entertaining and educating is anything by David Quammen. Seriously. Start with his collections of short essays, say, “The BoilerPlate Rhino” or “Wild Thoughts from Wild Places”. then graduate to such works of wonder as “Song of the DoDo” and “Monster of God” as a matter of fact, “Monster” is one of my #1 books of all time.
Anything by Carl Serafina is very masculine and environmental. for all you sexy tree-hugging men confidant in your sexuality out there…
75. Phil - January 10th, 2008 at 7:23 am
‘A Good Keen Man’ by Barry Crump
76. tim - January 10th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Dangerous Book for Boys sounds interesting
77. kiwiboi - January 10th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
The Feynman book is, indeed, the highlight of this list. Be warned - most other biographical books about him tend to rehash much of what is in this amazing book.
On a less cerebral level, The Game (by Neill Strauss) must get an honorable mention. It is a modern masterpiece on the art of picking up women; and a number of true encounters between Strauss and big name music and movie stars are featured. A hughely entertaining read for all males of the species.
78. Shabab - January 12th, 2008 at 3:37 am
Oh come on….THE ALPHABET OF MANLINESS - SO MANLY EVEN IT’S SENTENCES DON’T HAVE PERIODS
79. heavybison - January 15th, 2008 at 7:43 am
haha
80. abbadabbado - January 17th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance could alos be a list of the most boring books ever written. It’s probably the most boring thing I’ve ever read (apart from ANY novel by Thomas Hardy).
81. HulkSmashNow - January 18th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
“The Encyclopedia of Things That Never Were” isn’t really a guy’s book, unless you like reading about Hercules and Zeus’ penchant for young boys (Iolaus and Ganymede, respectively), or the fast and loose entries on Dracula, vampires, and werewolves. Most of the entries are a little too artsy-fartsy, and not really manly or cool. How about “The Encyclopedia of Cool Crap?” Now, that would be a great book for a guy.
82. Bob - January 24th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
These are all crap, and besides why should a book be only for men? A book that doesn’t appeal to the universal isn’t very good.
83. stussy - February 1st, 2008 at 9:30 am
Hallo Alphabet of manliness and Tucker Maxs I hope they serve beer in hell? Where are you guys?
Chuck Norris would not be amused of this list.
84. Polly Odyssey - February 8th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Are you saying that women can’t enjoy some of these books?
I even enjoyed the Alphabet of Manliness!
85. Alex - February 28th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
i too am curious as to why this list was made with ‘guys’ in mind, as some of them sound very interesting. im particularly intrigued by number 8 and 3..
86. ben - October 12th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Men might be illiterate, but they aren’t as illiterate as this list implies.
87. Monkey222 - November 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 am
I thought Playboy would have been no. 1…. Hahaha
