What's some manly literature? What book would turn one into a man? Recommend me some manly authors or books...

Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa for the japanese standard of manliness.

Xenophon's Anabasis.

>Reach the last thirty pages of book
>Cry "Thalatta Thalatta!"
>Throw book into neighbour's pool

...

>Reading books to become manly

oh my god, there is no hope for you, reading is inherently unmasculine

This. Itself feminine beyond all reckoning.

Vollmann, he even has man in his name.

There is no such thing as masculinity user, we live in 2016 now. It's okay to cry once in a while, this uber masculinity pushing men to act like dicks and shut their emotions off is very dangerous to our society. This is why we men commit suicide, rape, murder and steal A LOT more than women. Men cry.

Reading aloud is masc

I'm on book 17 of the Odyssey. Odysseus has returned to Ithaca at last and now he's walking with the swineherd to his palace. Bear in mind he's still disguised as a beggar. His dog Argos is lying there neglected on a dungheap, at sight of Odysseus he starts whimpering and nuzzling around then:

>Odysseus glaced to the side
>and flicked away a tear, hiding it from Eumaeus,
>diverting his friend in a hasty, offhand way:
>"Strange, Eumaeus, look, a dog like this,
>lying here on a dung-hill...

Eumaeus, the loyal swineherd, briefly reminisces about the animal's glory days then shares the dogs sad fate

>Ah, but he's run out of luck now, poor fellow...
>his master dead and gone, so far from home,
>and the heartless women tend not to him at all.

Then this

>With that he entered the well-constructed palace,
>strode through the halls and joined the proud suitors.
>But the dark shadow of death closed down on Argos' eyes
>the instant he saw Odysseus, twenty years away.

WAS NOT EXPECTING THESE FEELS. MANLIEST TEAR SHED IN ALL OF LITERATURE?

Argos was a good dog.

If you truly believe this, then the Kikes have already won.

How to Stay Alive in the Woods by Bradford Angier is good, it's like your grandpa telling you stories about hunting and fishing.

The Book of the New Sun

The most well-read man has luscious breasts, a flabby body, wide hips, a fully ass and a high-pitched squeaky voice. You think reading is a manly activity? Is this because you think reading Infinite Jest will build up your muscle mass?

>X reads books
>X is not masculine
>therefore all readers are not masculine

>Julius Caesar read and wrote books
>Julius Caesar conquered Gaul
>therefore all readers will conquer Gaul

Lives of Eminent Romans and Greeks - Plutarch

You sit at home, comfortable, warmed up, with your toes in frothing water, you're warped in a blanket and safe from all the harm in the world, and you read about some sad pathetic person or a troubled soul who cannot do anything in the chaotic world save write down their feelings of complaint and self-pity. Yeah, pretty feminine if you ask me.

A real man would go hunting or hiking, lift with his friends or have a drink trying to pick up a woman.

You write her poems, but the other guy wrecks her pussy every night.

Enjoy your ''wisdom''.

Turn you into a man? That's a feminine conception, one of passivity and outside forces. You are not turned into a man, you turn into a man, through action.

God damn cucks.
