    He was a voracious reader as a child. He’s currently a computer science student and is a smart jock who played football and throws discus in college. Hoping to get him some books for Christmas.
    My mom gave him Fourth Wing a couple years ago and he destroyed it in a couple of days. I’m open to fiction and non-fiction. He’s always seemed to like sagas with a lot of world building.

    1. Neal Stephenson. For something serious, give him either *Anathem* or *Cryptonomicon*. For something funny (but still interesting) and wild fun, give him *Snow Crash*.

    2. * The Assassin’s Apprentice series — really great saga with incredible world building and characters. It’s actually a 17 book series — four trilogies and one quartet all in the same world.
      * Project Hail Mary. Stand alone sci fi book that everyone loves.
      * Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss (with the caveat that he hasn’t finished the series and maybe never will)
      * Dungeon Crawler Carl. Way better than it has any right to be, people love this series.

    3. The Wandering Inn is online, but it would take him a while to read it and it’s good.

      Some of Brandon Sanderson’s books would work, too. Warbreaker, Mistborn, Elantris, The Way of Kings.
