My sister is back today with a post on getting the men in your life to pick up books. Awhile ago, I did a post on books I'd recommend for my husband (who is most definitely NOT a reader), and this is a really great (and updated) accompaniment to that!
*********************************************************
After hearing me rave about Fourth Wing and Iron Flame (and armed with the knowledge that it is already being adapted for TV), my husband, James, decided to dive into the series. He is not a big reader, usually gravitating towards technical books when he does (relating to his profession as a software engineer and his lifelong love of computers). He did enjoy them and we have already preordered Onyx Storm, so we have that to look forward to next year. Surprisingly, he wanted to continue his reading journey so it got me thinking – what kinds of books would we recommend to get the guys in our life reading?
The Arc of a Scythe series and Dry by Neal Shusterman
All YA novels about dystopian futures, they are quick, engaging reads. James has already read two of the three Scythe books and is loving them!
The Kaiju Preservation Society and Starter Villian by John Scalzi
James and I have listened to both of these and the audios are fantastic. They are quirky and really, really funny.
Anything by Neil deGrasse Tyson or Randall Munroe
If you have a science nut in your life, you need these books. You will learn something and definitely chuckle along the way. I would also recommend these in audio – they are all fantastic and allowed us to have some great conversations about the material.
Do you have readers in your life? What books would you recommend to reluctant or new readers?
