Recommended Reading List Artful Prudence | October 6, 2021 | by Artful Prudence ------------------------- At last, the long-awaited reading list. Over the last year, I have been getting innumerable questions from men of all ages with regards to what books they should read, and rightly so, with all the perplexity and ignorance surrounding the so-called ‘improvement’ books that most people read nowadays. I feel inclined to finally put together a thorough reading list for all my readers who support and value my work. The books listed below are not so much ‘self-improvement’ books as they are ageless and invaluable pieces of literary genius that will not only brush up your thinking and writing, but enrich your character and teach you something of competence and true power. I will attempt to keep this list as inclusive as possible yet not exhaustive. A follow-up may be in right in the future.
