Books Every Man Must Read

I recently came across an article on the Art of Manliness that struck my interest. As a self confessed man intent on self improvement this article struck home pretty quickly (in fact the website itself is full or quirky and useful articles for every man's needs).
     It shows a list of 100 essential books for every man no matter your walk of life. I found myself astoundingly limited on the number of these I had actually read and have challenged myself to read all below. Here I have extracted the books that I found most interesting and made a few additions. For the AoM full list click HERE.

1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
2. The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli
3. The Republic of Plato: Translation by Allan Bloom
4. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
5. Lord of the Flies by William Golding
6. The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann D. Wyss
7. The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer
8. Ulysses by James Joyce
9. The Art of War by Sun Tzu
10. Politics by Aristotle
11. Animal Farm by George Orwell
12. The Stranger by Albert Camus
13. On The Road by Jack Kerouac
14. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
15. The Great Railway Bazaar by Paul Theroux
16. Paradise Lost by John Milton
17. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
18. The SAS Survival Handbook by John 'lofty' Wiseman
19. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
20. Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller

I am currently plowing my way through this list to augment my literary diversity. Even if you aren't a literary obsessive or know-it-all (I certainly aren't) I encourage you all to try and read these, you have to start somewhere. Good Luck!
