My dad is staring down the barrel of a long recovery from a spinal surgery and he says that all he's able to do is read. Translation he's miserable and I feel really bad.
I was thinking of sending him some books to cheer him up.
Loves: Stephen King, more obscure science fiction, alternate history especially when it has to do with WW/, 2.
Huge fan of Mark Twain and J.R.R. Tolkien. And has also enjoyed retellings of their stuff.
Extremely smart, almost hyperlexic, they weaned him off the painkillers so he is clearheaded and bored bored bored!
Any book recommendations for somebody like that I really really appreciate.
Sorry for the typos this phone sucks.
