pickOf Boys and Men is included on Obama‘s summer reading list. I snagged this audiobook immediately, as it was new to me and I‘m over here trying to raise a couple of boys. At 7 hrs, it‘s a doable look at how men and boys are caught between two narratives: “the problem” or ignored by the left and toxic culture/manly man weirdness of the right. It‘s political but also focuses on policies that could help-like red shirting boys in kindergarten.

pickA must for any man or boy!
From the perspective of a man living in the Western world, I recognize that initiation rites into maturity (for males and females) are essentially non-existent. Society has forfeited its role to government and the result has been none to kind. We do not have mentors, there is no great wisdom being passed down from one generation to another, but thankfully we do have a few select books that can at least point the way.
pickThis is a tenderly funny look at a bunch of middle aged men who gather each year to reenact the football game where Joe Theismann‘s thigh was snapped. Bachelder did a great job of giving each man a distinct personality in a very short space. I rarely read a book that gives a group of men such emotional depth. #roll100
Note: You can never fool a woman. They‘re just way too smart and plus, they have 5 sensors in their heads whereas men only have 3 (the kinds used to detect lies and read voice and facial modulations). Go figure.
