Who do you choose from the five most extraordinary men in the history of literature?


8CatsBook asked a girl: What kind of men do you like?


This girl told 8CatsBook that she likes real men. So I've been thinking these days: what kind of man can be considered a real man? I looked through some of the books I had read before and got a revelation from them.


8CatsBook thinks:

  • A real man should be like a gangster brother who can bring people a sense of security.
  • He should have a strong tolerance, and even if he is put in prison, he will not give up pursuing freedom.
  • Even if his career is in ruins, he will always struggle.
  • Even if he is left on a desert island and in a desperate situation, he can be his own God.
  • A real man must be the man who finds himself.


The following five men in the 8CatsBook view are well-deserved real men. I recommend them to you.



The Godfather is not only a book, but also a movie. If you have seen the movie "The Godfather", then I suggest you read the novel "The Godfather" even more.

8CatsBook believes that the movie "The Godfather" only captures the part of the novel that is easy to visualize. And there is the part of the novel that is difficult to visualize, and that part is, in a way, more profound.

The Godfather has been hailed as a man's bible. Before reading this book, I was very dismissive of this title, after reading it, I think this title is very plain, not exaggerated at all, if this book can not be called the bible of men, then men also have no bible.

As a real man, how does he see the world? How should he treat women, how to deal with promises, how to treat friends and relatives, how to deal with business, how to insight into the times and human nature? The book "The Godfather" talks about it all and talks through it.

8CatsBook believes that the hidden, complex and twisted spiritual passage from boy to man is "The Godfather".

Girls, you should buy your boyfriend a copy of "The Godfather".

Boys, you should buy yourself a copy of "The Godfather".



A troubled man yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from Eva Nash.

The Lesters were killed in one night! Clarence Lester was saved by a college girl on his way to escape. In return for his kindness, he becomes the superfluous son-in-law of The Burnetts. They are unaware of his true identity and treat him with hardship and insult. Suddenly, one day, he finds himself, and the whole world trembles ......

"If you like Pride and Prejudice, Sense And Sensibility, and Billionaire Romance, you won't be able to put down the compulsively addictive Rich Wife Poor Husband series."


This is actually a collection of short stories. But what I really want to recommend is the one used for the title of the book, whose movie of the same name has long been sealed.

Even if you have seen the movie, I still recommend that you take another look at the novel, which is very subtly different from the movie.

People have always thought that this is a story of the pursuit of freedom. The story of a wrongly accused prisoner who spends 19 years and finally escapes from prison. The story is indeed such a story, but each person may see something different from it.

The most shocking point for me is that Andy, as a person, let me see the divinity in people.

If a person can become a god, then this person in my mind, is a person like Andy.

A person who is really strong inside, he can be in the darkest part of the world, inside the mind, self-built an immense and complete and deep spiritual world.

It turns out that someone can really do it, the physical body lives in one spatial dimension, and the soul lives in another.

In the end, with the guidance of his soul, he used the most boring persistence to overcome time and let his physical body escape from this symbol of the real world - prison.

I always wonder what kind of person Andy would have become if he had not succeeded in escaping from prison in the end.

I think he would still be in prison, spending the rest of his life peacefully and in absolute confinement of his physical body, gaining unlimited spiritual freedom, which is the true face of Andy, the greatest prisoner of all time.



In the process of one's struggle, Booklist Dog has always believed that failure is inevitable and success is accidental.

How to face failure, a person must think about the problem.

The Old Man and the Sea is a novel, Booklist Dog believes, about the essence of a person's understanding of failure.

We can not decide to fail, but we can choose to face the attitude of failure.

We always do our best to fight and accept the result (most likely failure) with openness.

We may still be far from becoming older men, but we have long been in the sea of life.

All men should learn from this older man how to face the inevitable failures.

This is almost the ultimate lesson for a man.
Of all the people who have existed in the history of humanity, if there is a number one idol for booklist dogs, it is the Buddha.

Buddha, Jodharma Siddhartha, in most people's eyes, is a thoroughly enlightened man. But in the eyes of Booklist Dog, he is the first person in human history who found himself.

Buddhism, according to Booklist Dog, is not a religion; the word Buddhism, the teaching in it should be the teaching of education; that is, Buddhism, in essence, is the education of the Buddha.

The education of the Buddha is a journey that lasts a lifetime in pursuit of the self.

Who am I, and what is the original nature of the world? I have lived a life in this world; what is the meaning of my life?

These are the ultimate questions that almost every human being cannot avoid.

After reading Siddhartha as a novel about the Buddha, I was filled with a deep emotion that lasted for many years.

It is fantastic that such a person who lived such an accurate and thorough understanding once existed in human history.

So much so that we can gain strength just by reading his story once.

In the confusion of life, we can see a light that transcends time and space.
