Mens Book List

Books that make men sharper, wiser, and better role models.

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

This week's featured books - captivating, informative & thought-provoking. Updated every Sunday:

In The Heart of The Sea

A whale sinks the ship. Men start eating the dead to stay alive. Simply one of the best, most gripping true shipwreck stories ever told.

A Bridge Too Far

Operation Market Garden still hurts to read. Ryan makes you watch a great airborne gamble die a few miles short of the Rhine.

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

Genghis Khan in a different spotlight - as the man who wired a continent together. Roads. Passports. Cities that opened the gates and cities that didn’t - and paid the price.

@HamblettMike @luisbaram Hello good sir. Perhaps I could interest you in this selection of fine literature?

Thank you

It seems like you and I are cut from the same cloth.

I also exist on an obscure island and consider myself a contrarian. 🤝

I'm building a collection of 'Against the Narrative' books. It's pretty bare bones right now and not fleshed out. Perhaps you could take a browse and give me some recommendations?

What's your favourite genre of book?

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@TimWalshx Thank you kindly for the recommendation. This one, right?

I've not read it - just added to my 'must read' list.

Men at Sea

Mutiny. Murder. Hardship.

Gripping books on naval history, exploration, shipwrecks and life at sea.

@TimWalshx Haha fair enough, I loved them both!

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

Today's book recommendation has been made into a movie THREE times. I've seen them all and none of them compare to the book.

It's quite simply the best WW1 novel of all time. Gripping, moving and thought-provoking. I finished it in one sitting. An absolute must read ->

@TimWalshx Is there anything better than Orwell when it comes to this genre?

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@TimWalshx Great shout

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

True - because who wants to read Of Mice and Men or To Kill A Mockingbird? How about we get some proper books into schools.

Any suggestions? I'll start:

All Quiet On The Western Front - simply the best WW1 Novel of all time.

“No way you wrote a 5 page essay without AI”

Buddy, we wrote them without even reading the book.

@luisbaram You must have the the patience of a saint to interact with these people.

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

Probably the best summary I could give is that there was more to Genghis Khan than just a marauding barbarian, which is what I had believed before reading.

He connected cities with roads and introduced a form of passports made out of metal or wood.

I think one key aspect to his success the religious tolerance of the Mongol Empire. You could pray to whichever god you pleased - as long as you submitted to Genghis Khan.

[Barbarian Herodotus @BBHerodotus]

@MensBookList That is a very good book. I really enjoyed it.

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@bernardtjoy Reading has already been declining massively since the age of the smart phone, which is very disappointing

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@johnyan27409322 @deewalkerbooks It's an absolute must-read. Scarily prophetic.

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@adrianmckinty Great book. Similarly great reads of a similar genre, if you are interested ->

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@Thomasravenel This is a great book. Highly recommended. If you enjoyed the Wager, here's other similarly gripping books of the same genre ->

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@TheBuckYouWill If you really want to know how deep the rabbit hole of this type of grifting nonsense goes, then you MUST read this book ->

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

@BookNoteApp Great selection. Here's a few more ->

[Mens Book List @MensBookList]

You were taught Genghis Khan as a barbarian with a body count. He was much more than that.

This book treats him as the man who wired a continent together and charged for the privilege in blood.

Roads. Passports. Cities that opened the gates, and cities that didn’t - and paid the price.
