Looking for a book for Christmas for my dad. His favorite author is humorist Patrick McManus. He’s not a huge outdoors man but the stores of camping and growing up really appeal to him. Looking for something funny, clean, ideally available in audiobook because he does not see well.

Maybe Bill Bryson?
A lot of John Gierach’s books are currently free with an Audible subscription if you want to try one before purchasing one. He’s not a humorist, but is still funny at times. All his essays are well written. Maybe try Standing in a river waving a stick.
You might try Dave Barry. He isn’t focused on the outdoors like McManus, though they have a similar style of humor. Barry probably tends to be a bit more arch than McManus. In addition to his essays, Barry has also done comedic novels. McManus also has a series of novels; though I didn’t personally like the first one enough to continue with the series.
