He doesn’t read overall, but he did read some John Grisham many years ago and said he enjoyed them. I read often and he’s been saying he wants less screen time in the evenings, so I’m considering getting him a book or two at Christmas. He likes adventure movies, comedy, suspense and some science fiction if that helps at all.

Hitchhikers guide the galaxy…. If he likes dry humor. Adventure, space, jokes. Quick read.
My husband (who also doesn’t read) just read A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson and laughed out loud many times.
This is what Jack Reacher is for.
David Baldacci
Stephen Hunter Bob Lee Swagger series,
Stephen king is an easy answer, horror stories, westerns, adventure. Easy readers and not intimidating. I like Salem’s lot
Hemingway is also great, books of short stories, great easy to read novels, man’s man. In our time is a book of short stories, the sun also rises is maybe my favorite novel of his
The Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. Each book is basically a Rambo movie. Richard Marcinko’s Rogue Warrior series is along the same lines. David Baldacci, Michael Crichton, John Sandford and Stephen Hunter are other authors he might enjoy. “Inside Delta Force: The Story of America’s Elite Counterterrorist Unit” by Eric L. Haney is good nonfiction as is “Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member” by Sanyika Shakur.
My husband doesn’t really read, but he loves Star Wars, and there are a ton of those novels, so he reads one of those a year! Could be a good option if he is into that!
The River by Peter Heller
Killing Thatcher – nonfiction history but reads like a thriller.
Very well written – not in a literary way but just nice, clean prose that flows through you.
He might like the Daniel Silva or Brad Thor books. I’ve enjoyed both as “fun” reads. I read one Jack Reacher and not any more. To me it was too unbelievable and illogical.
The Martian
No Country for Old Men
Into Thin Air
Black Hawk Down
James Patterson
World War Z is a great read (ignore the crap movie). I gave it to my brother who never reads and he loved it!
Ken Follett Pillars of the Earth. it’s long but extremely readable
