Go out.
Books won't make you a man, videos wont' do it, audiobooks won't do it, bootcamps won't do it, movies, tv, pictures, etc. You're development as a man is directly tied to your experiences. A 20-book reading list is just a way to hold off on going out of the house and actually doing something.
I respectfully disagree. What's wrong with reading some material, then going out and trying what you learned? I'm currently a student so the weeknights are a good opportunity for me to get some reading done after I finish my homework. Then I go to school and get my game on.
Reading is a normal thing for me; I normally tackle a new book every other week or so. I can see where it might be detrimental if one were hiding behind books but I also look to gain experience when I'm out!
