As a man, what books should you have in your library?

[Mowgli]

Name me some books that every man should read. I have the Way of the superior man. What are some other good books.

Note: please no religious books, we already have our religious debate thread for the day. And I have no desire to this thread become a shyt storm.

Thank you.

The Smartest Books We Know - March 21, 2005

my two favorite are:

EXTRAORDINARY POPULAR DELUSIONS AND THE MADNESS OF CROWDS by Charles Mackay (1841). This chronicle of Holland's tulip mania of 1634 and the South Sea Bubble of 1720, among other irrational crazes, is an engaging, perceptive account of humanity's urge to plunge itself into speculative frenzies.


TITAN: THE LIFE OF JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER SR. by Ron Chernow (1998). If 75 books were burning and you could save just one, this might be it: a biography as powerful and detail-minded as its subject.



leave out the fantastic mothership and master fard stuff and this an absolute necessity for all brehs. improving yourself, self reliance, feeding and protecting your family are the major themes that resonated with me.

Message to the Blackman in America by Elijah Muhammad Published 1965


also, anything writings by Marcus Garvey and historian J.A. Rogers

 

[AllHolosEve]

Like graphic classic? Or just comics? No books at all?

Nah, I got a large book collection, I was just going with the "HAVE" thing... I got many novels, hardcover & paperback, empowerment books, etc...

My books helped my vocabulary cause theyd use words I didnt know so Id pull out my dictionary... I just think thats the book a man should have, too many books, thats the one I think could benefit everybody.. The rest are mostly personality, not for everybody...
