Hi Reader, In case you missed it, I am currently rebranding both my broad book blog, The Literary Lifestyle, and my niche book club, The Rory Gilmore Book Club, into a single, combined brand: Friday Night Readers. It will be fully inspired by the books on Gilmore Girls and related topics, like the cozy Stars Hollow aesthetic. It's a slight pivot with a far greater focus for my most engaged readers who love Gilmore Girls. More to come soon. In the meantime, Father's Day is this weekend, and if you're looking for a last-minute bookish gift for the Luke, Richard, or even Christopher in your life, I've got you covered. Book gifts are common with Rory and her father figures. Christopher (eventually) gifted her the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, and she and Richard frequently exchange book gifts. I can't help but think of A Mencken Chrestomathy. Here, the best books for men to read is always one of my most popular topics with readers. Keep scrolling for my 2025 list.
I continue to refine my list over time, incorporating my recommendations, my husband's recommendations, readers' suggestions, market research, and additional data. I'm going to keep it simple today. Here's my 2025 list, broken down by category. I placed a * next to the ones my husband read and loved: Classic Literature for Men (all on the Gilmore Girls reading list)
Dystopian and Science Fiction
Historical Fiction
Non-Fiction Biographies and Memoirs By or About Men
Non-Fiction Narrative: History, Sports, and True Crime
Self-Help: Business, Psychology, and Self-Improvement
Thrillers and Mysteries
Remember, it's a good day to read a book. -Jules |

Formerly known as The Literary Lifestyle. We are in the middle of rebranding! Hi Reader, One of bestselling author Jo Piazza’s biggest interests is trad (traditional) wives, which is the subject of her newest release, Everyone Is Lying To You. (In case you aren’t familiar with trad wives, it’s a social media community of women who embrace traditional gender roles in marriage. They focus on sharing domestic duties, such as cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing, and a 1950s-style ideal of a more...
Formerly known as The Literary Lifestyle. We are rebranding! Hi Reader, June is Audiobook Month, and I haven't yet talked to you about audiobooks, so let's do it! Audiobooks are what got me back into reading about ten years ago. I was spending a lot of time in the car and just wasn't getting enough stimulation from the radio or podcasts. Since then, I have read around 50 audiobooks per year. They accompany me on ALL mind-numbing tasks, from folding laundry to putting away dishes. They also...
