because obviously women wouldn't want to read any of these books (even though I've read plenty of them) and any men who didn't find them appealing wouldn't be "real men" (whatever that means).

This list is appalling.

No, this list is fun.
It's the guy version of chick lit.

It's celebrating literary testosterone and various forms of 'manliness', most of which are as realistic as a bodess ripper, an 80's action movie or an episode of 'Sex in the city'.

It's escapism.

If you've read plenty of the books on the list then talk about which ones you like, or if you think a book should have been rated higher (Iliad got more votes then the Odyssey?) or just enjoy the fact that this may be the only list on goodreads that doesn't include 'Twilight'.

Why do people go onto lists of stuff they don't like and announce they don't like it?
I don't like 'Twilight', which is why I don't post on those lists.I go to the lists of stuff I like.

Personally, I think somebody with a sense of humor slipped Virginia Wolfe on the list. I would have gone with 'Orlando' myself.

Not meaning to be a jerk or call you out, Susannah, just an observation, as I've seen this happen on a couple lists.

Plus, I think anyone who is taking a list with this title seriously, needs to relax, maybe go read some 'chick-lit'.

and that was a joke, before anyone yells at me.

Never a huge Bolan fan. I was more a Remo Williams guy.

But, you can never have too much Howard or Burroughs books.

I have not read the Remo Williams stories, but I loved the movie. I think the Bolan books may have been based off the Remo stories or vice versa.

No, they both came out in the great manly paperback rush of the late 70's/early 80's.

Bolan is very serious, tough guy shoot em up.
Remo is more light hearted, almost parody, and focused on martial arts.

Maybe it should be called "Books that Men Read", then the list would truly have a reason for existing.

There are at least four books written by women on this list.
Two of them the first books in series.

Have any women come to this list to check out some potential reading or has it all been outrage?

A book is a book is a book. I feel this is just a way to call classic books that are centered almost exclusively around male characters (as most classics are anyway). How is a book even manly? Because it's political, because it's philosophical fiction? Has very flawed characters that do reckless and/or violent things? That's the common things I see among many of these.

PD. Four entire books? Wow. I should be so grateful.

No, you shouldn't feel grateful.
You just shouldn't feel personally slighted.
It's just a list
And a list, is a list is a list.

If all books were the same, good reads would have one section, entitled 'books'.

No one's saying this is a list only men can read or that you have to read them to get into the club.
Guys can appreciate 'Enchanted April', women can appreciate Conan.

Are you going to the women's book club lists and getting this outraged?

I thought that because I was asking about why people were showing up just to be outraged and the next reply was you saying the list was stupid.

Not meaning to pick on you, but due to circumstance you got grouped with the outraged.
