I didn't say drugs and alcohol made "it" manly, Muggle, but I do appreciate your suggestions. Cormac McCarthy sounds like an author I might be into.

Haha, good ol' Moby... I've turned over the same results on goolge, but there were many good suggestions on this thread that are new to me, Thanks for the help good people!

... Thanks Frankie? Just to be clear, I'm not asking anyone to find anything for me, just asking for recommendations. Thank you!

Karsa, just... no. That's probably the absolute opposite of what I am looking for, haha, but thank you. And I appreciate the suggestion Chrissy, I truly do, but reading up on his writing personality, it seems most of Thompson's characters are basically insane. And I don't think a story about a couple of drug addicts will be worthy of my admiration or time. Maddox's Alphabet of Manliness is pretty good and I am looking forward to reading it but it doesn't have a protagonist or storyline etiquette....

I'm sick of all these female authors in the young adult section writing stories about fantasy relationships, and no I don't want to read that psychotic 50 shades of whatever. I want to read something rugged, badass, and witty. And yes, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is a classic, but I need something else. It doesn't have to be all drugs, and alcohol but it should straddle the line somewhat.... Anyone know of anything good in that area? Something really cool?
