If chick lit is a thing, then dude lit definitely is as well. Whether it's modern or historic, novels that are male-centric and feature non-stop action and adventure, violence, and the all-round tough guy are standard dude lit fare.

The Man In the Forest by Zane Grey

The Lady in the Lake by Raymond Chandler

Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton
