This book is definitely for men, and it's hilarious! Soon I Will Be
Invincible by Austin Grossman is a novel that reads like a comic book.
Have you ever met someone so smart they were stupid? Well, meet the
most evil of villains, Dr. Smartacus....no, let's try Count
Smakula...nope, how about Dr. Invincible? He's out to get the
superheroes, especially Core Fire, the world's greatest superhero! But
there are some glitches on both ends, including fighting between the
superheroes over a recent divorce and dividing their assets as well as
other regular adult situations that infect them.
Very very funny...very very guy!
Cover is great too!
Hope this helps : )

I love Bill Bryson's books: A Walk in the Woods, Made in America, Mother
Tongue, Down Under/Sundburnt Country, Thunderbolt Kid (if raised in the
50's/60's) Notes from a Big Country. Unless you are really into science
I
wouldn't recommend A Short History on Everything. VERY HEAVY!
