Books - What are you reading?

There are thousands of authors (usually aimed at male audiences) who skim over the emotional aspects of their characters, and I believe that is why they sell so well with men.
My dad's groaning bookcases are rammed with Lee Child, Richard Stark, John Buchan, Sapper and Bernard Cornwell. Every hero a man's man, and emotional content wavering at the zero mark.
If these books were to contain any real human feelings and emotions he wouldn't buy them, and neither would the hundreds of thousands of men who slurp them up like pints of strong ale.
There are many men who haven't got the first fucking clue about how to handle emotional situations, and the last person they want to start harping on about it is Sharp or Jack Reacher!

Well, 'women's' weepies are arguably just as emotionally vapid as that, perhaps in a different way, but still total bollocks. Or take Enid Blyton--she purported to write for both boys and girls, but all of it is equally shallow.

Also, most children's literature is--you have to turn to great children's literature like Astrid Lindgren or Erich Kästner (although 'Emil and the Detectives' and his other stuff of 1930-1932 are very shallow, 'The Flying Classroom' or 'The Little Man' are not) to get something that actually dares to engage children emotionally.
