I wasn't sure if I should put this in Suggestions or this forum, but anyways, I have a dilemma. I want to get my father back into reading by buying him a book on his upcoming birthday.
The thing is he hasn't read a book of any kind for more than 2 decades, and he's afraid of starting over. So I was wondering if you guys would recommend a book that will just really get him back into reading again.
Now, I don't know what he likes but I know he dislikes anything sci-fi/fantasy, so no Goodkind, Tolkien, Card, or Asimov, because he won't read it. I was thinking of getting him "The Art of War" by Sun-Tzu because of how it is practical in today's world. I also know that he likes movies that deal with deep characters, have more of a murder-mystery type plot, and deal with REAL-LIFE characters. His favorite actors are Clint Eastwood, Robert DeNiro, and Al Pacino, so if you have any like Westerns/Mafia/Crazy character books, please post them.
Thank you so much,
