No book ever made a pussy a man. Only deeds.
At best you can hope to get some instruction on what to start doing, instead of reading.
Reading instead of doing is procrastination.
Seriously, the birds fly without reading any instructions, the moles dig holes without learning about local geography, and toddlers start walking without reading how to walk. Nobody learned to ride a bike by reading a book.
Go practice manhood. Manhood is control, honor and excellence.
can you imagine, monsieur, the soul of this man, who comes to us crestfallen, unsure of himself, unable to hold his arm out in a proud roman salute, to bed the woman that he likes, perhaps he is obese, or has lost weight and now has 20 pounds of loose skin hanging to his toes, and drapes himself in this carnal cloak, wrapped in loose skin, ashamed of himself, ashamed of his browser history, he looks down at his pee pee and he says to it "why can't you be big and black, little pee pee?" and the best you can do for this man, the best you can offer him, is a bunch of Jewish Trash?
brother, i feel your pain. i know the dark places you have been. i too have been there, friend. i too have considered shooting up my school. i too, friend, have watched anime.
but that all changed, monsieur. one day, in the depths of an 8 hour internet session, whilst i obesely lounged over the 9 layers of myself, i discovered a story of a man who picked himself up from effeminacy, from being a loser, to put it bluntly, a failure, and he changed the world, and he got revenge.
he wasn't a superhero, or a youtuber, or a twitch streamer, or the guy who invented fidget spinners. he was a little german boy, named Adolf Hitler. and not only did he wrote books, but he wrote history - with his mind and his will. now let's be earnest with each other. i give you my word, a solemn promise, that if you only read one book in your life, let it be Mein Kampf. each page will raise your testosterone level, like intellectual trenbolone. you will become leaner, meaner, more defined, with masculine striations between your neck and your neckbeard calving out a valley of pale skin and pubes. before long, you'll start to see the changes. girls will begin to notice you like they didn't before. you'll receive emails from even from men - homosexuals - wanting to lie down with you. monsieur, by the end of this journey, you will look back on this post and laugh and say to yourself, a simple genuflecting sentence of thanks, only

Responsibility is important. Read the bible and find a few good history books/biographies.
So the Greeks were ultimately gay?

Suttree is a book I'd wished I read earlier in my life.
The last paragraph is incomplete advice. You must also directly learn how to actually interact with girls smoothly. There are plenty of slobs and so-called manlets who are extremely adept at seducing women and have no need of careers and being swole.You know this to be true since we've all met a few of those over the course of our lives.
Improving your circumstances can certainly be helpful in developing the behavioral traits you need to be successful, but it's not the most important thing.
If you really want something that will drive you to toughen up, read Bad: The Autobiography of James Carr and Soledad Brother, the letters of George Jackson. They were two criminals who served years in some of the shittiest jails of the entire country and, from inside, became Marxist revolutionaries, while regularly engaging in criminal activities that turned them into two of the most notorious criminals in the systems. Bad, in particular, is some real shit, because of how unapologetic and somewhat righteous he is about everything he did.
I think the only way literature helps you becoming a man is by conveying the real experiences of real men, and how they react to bad circumstances. Don't real overglorified motivational quotes just because the author has statues of him, and don't read fat white dudes waxing poetic about warriors and tradition. And don't read Mishima.
nice pasta I'm takin it
