He loves any genre, seriously anything. Hit me with some of your more obscure ones! Definitely should come in large print, though most have that option. Some popular ones he has loved:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Ulysses by James Joyce
Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt
Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Hobbit
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Eva Luna by Isabel Allende
Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard
A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro
As far as nonfiction, books that are “history we don’t know but should know” type (1491 for example).
Poets, Robert Burns, Walt Whitman.
He also used to read me a collection of O’Henry stories when I was little, so if you got something goofy definitely drop it.

If he likes memoirs like Angela’s Ashes, he may like Carlos Eire’s Waiting for Snow in Havana
The three body problem by Cixi Liu!
*Caste*, by Wilkerson
*The Making of the Atomic Bomb*, by Rhodes
*All the Light We Cannot See*, Doerr
*Into Thin Air*, by Krakaeur
He might appreciate an e reader. I got the lightest weight kindle I could find. I love being able to set the font size so I can read without my glasses. And no matter how big the book, I can hold the e reader comfortably in my hand.
