Today something happened that’s never happened before: my husband asked me for a book to take to work! Things have been slow there and he’s tired of looking at his phone. I gave him Nick Cutter’s “The Deep” but I’m not sure if that will strike his interest or not. If it doesn’t grab his attention, I’m looking for other books to recommend. The only book he’s ever read and loved was “Holes” as a kid. He is a big sports fan but didn’t like reading nonfiction or biographies about sports when he’s tried in the past (I get that, I’m a fiction girl myself). I’m looking for books that aren’t too long, grab your attention quickly, and aren’t too flowery with the prose. Nothing too intimidating. Thanks!!

Try Murderbot Diaries. Short and very fast-moving, and a series he can get into if he wants to.
The Wager by David Grann might hook him.
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. That grabbed and kept my husbands attention.
*My Side of the Mountain* by Jean Craighead George
*The Cay* by Theodore Taylor
The Jack Reacher series by Lee Child
The Rogue Warrior series by Richard Marcinko
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch is a pretty good page turner.
