Men Don’t Read Fun Books?” Maybe They Just Don’t Read Yours
134Men Don’t Read Fun Books?” Maybe They Just Don’t Read Yours
A viral TikTok claims that men don’t read fun books — and says Fourth Wing is what they should be reading.
In this video, I break down why that argument misses the point. Men do read. We just read different books — and no, that doesn’t mean we hate fun. It means our definition of fun might not involve dragon smut and romance-first fantasy.
Let’s talk about:
What makes a book “fun” (and why that’s subjective)
How BookTok became an echo chamber
The kinds of books men actually love reading
Why most BookTok hits aren’t marketed to men anyway
How reading has become performative and gendered online
📚 Books mentioned: The Martian, Berserk, Dune, Blood Meridian, Joe Abercrombie, Stephen King, Junji Ito, and more.
