Essential Manners For Men, What to Do, When to Do It, and Why, Peter Post

At this point it seems proper for me to remind you that I said that this blog is "a conversational listing of my quirky reading interests." The truth is, I believe like C.H. Spurgeon that we should read widely and broadly. But I'm sure to some posting this book will seem odd and that's okay.

This is not a book on dating. It is exactly what the title says. Essential Manners For Men is an excellent example of a genre that men should rediscover. Such books were once common in a man's personal library. There does seem to be a revival of interest among men in all things traditionally masculine, and may I say it's long overdue. It is high time that we guys admit that the "Modern Macho" and "Savvy Sensitive" models for manhood are failing us. Being a gentleman and an all around classy man is worth the effort. In all those sticky social situations where we guys are slightly less confident, this book helps. It's great for a reference if you just can't bring yourself to read the whole thing through.
