Manly Book Suggestions

Depending on your literary level, you may enjoy Faulkner. He writes about manly things from a Southern p-o-v. If your not a fan of Modernism, I would stay away, but if you're cool w/ stream of conscious technique, plotlines that jump all over the place, and sentences that may last a page or more, then Faulkner is a good man's author. If you're not familiar with his work, I would suggest checking out some of his short stories first, such as "Barn Burning". If your into the modernist era of literature, I would suggest his masterpeice, Absolom, Absolom!.
