Homie are you stupid or are you 17? There is no singular way to be a man. You might read Hemingway and realize that's the kind of man you want to be, or you might want to read Catullus and be like him.

Just get a broad selection of literature and decide for yourself what type of manhood appeals to you.

It does depend on what you choose to think being a man means. Thats not a simple question and shouldn't be taken lightly. I think the most essential text(s) I could recommend are The Trial of Socrates, The Phaedo and The Republic. As you can no doubt guess I idolise Socrates.
