Published 9 September 2024. The best books for men to read right now are, by and large, the same as what anyone should read. But guys generally read less than girls, particularly in terms of fiction, so they're more in need of a friendly nudge in the right direction. So here's the list. There's a bit of new stuff and a bit of old stuff; loads of brilliant novels, and some non-fiction highlights too. Together, they cover just about every topic under the sun. Love, grief, imperialism, London, the internet – it's all here. Take a look, take your pick and get going. Trust us: reading books is good for you. And fun.
