I Am Pilgrim https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0552160962/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i_ZBt.AbZFNX84F
I was going to suggest this one.
What about an autobiography of someone he’s interested in!
My husband isn’t much of a reader either.?, but he will read James Patterson or Dan Brown on holiday. James Patterson books are good and have short chapters.
I Am Pilgrim…. I read this on holiday a few years ago them my husband read it and now has been read by all the men in my family.
My husband only reads on holiday & as someone who enjoys sport he tends to enjoy sport biographies. He’s taking Chris Hoy & Darren Gough on holiday with us next month. ?
The Deal
https://g.co/kgs/joxx7j or The Martian

James Herbert ?
Sure can – Gamekeeper Turned Poacher is an excellent British Crime Thriller. It’s edgy and current and he’ll love it!

My husband doesn’t read much either but he took the Sharpe books by Bernard Cornwell on a long holiday a few years ago and devoured them!
Anything by Lee Kernick..real page turners
I am Pilgrim
James Patterson
The Boys in the Boat, Unbreakable
As long as he is not squeamish try Severed by Simon Kernick
Boys in the Boat or Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President (Loved this book)
Anything by David gemmell I know loads of men who read him it’s heroic fantasy brill writer
Matthew Reilly
My husband doesn’t read but he loves autobiographies, he’s currently reading Foggys latest book if he’s into bikes??
My husband’s not much of a reader but has got into Lee Child’s Jack Reacher books
Lee child or Harlan Coben
End of the world running club
What kind of movies does he like?
what does he watch on TV?
My husband read some Brad thor and he really doesn’t enjoy fiction books…. he liked those though
I agree with James Patterson. The Alex Cross, Michael Bennett and NYPD Red books are really good.
Game of Thrones, if he likes Fantasy
My husband loves Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series. He also enjoyed Andy McDermott’s Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase series (first book is Hunt For Atlantis).
Thomas Odd my husband actually touched that book!
What does he watch on TV?
My husband reads 1-2 books/year, but none of the history/patterson/bio books are his thing.
He loved The Martian, anything by Neal Stephenson(but especially Seveneves), etc. it really depends on what kind of guy he is, what he’s into.
My boyfriend on the other hand reads as much as I do, and usually around 100/year. lol so strange.
The Scott Horvath series by Brad Thor
@Sebi
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
Excellent choice.
Any of the Jack Reacher books by Lee Child… great stories for all sexes and enough action from the get-go to keep his interest 🙂
My husband reads a lot of tom clancy books, lord of the rings/star wars/game of thrones type books. Know he also liked ready player one and the great alone. Just depends on what your husband likes 🙂
Da Vinci code
My husband likes the Bernard Cornwall books.
Lonesome @Rachel
Do you mean Lonesome Dove?
Chris Kyles autobiography
American Sniper (memorial edition)
I loved it!
Clive Cussler
Miracle of Dunkirk
My husband doesn’t read a lot either but really enjoyed “The Martian” by Andy Weir (and finished it in less than a week! That’s huge for him).
The most popular author “for men” is Lee Child
John Scalzi!
^^ I second anything by Scalzi.
Death and the Penguin
Wool or the Passage
My husband also hardly ever reads.
He enjoyed An astronaut’s guide to.life on earth and is currently chuckling his way through The hundred year old man who climbed out of a window and disappeared.
My hubby isn’t much of reader but he likes the Jack Reacher series from Lee Child and he also read the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher
I love jack reacher! ❤️
My husband also enjoys the Jack Reacher series.
If you like Jack Reacher you would probably like Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn!
Ready Player One
da vinci code
Thanks for all the recommendations now I just have to encourage him to pick something
Lee Child – Jack Reacher..
I have an awefull time getting my husband to read anything unless its by Lee Child
Anything by Greg Iles. Especially the Natchez Burning trilogy.
My friend doesn’t read a lot, but he just finished reading Ready Player One in two weeks.
That was fantastic on audio.
Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series
I am Pilgrim
The charm school by Nelson de Mille is awesome.
First book in the Prey series by John Sanford, or the series by Lee Child.
A gentleman in Moscow or A fraction of the whole
My husband only reads novels on holiday.
He is really enjoying Lee Child .. Jack Reacher books. (Nothing like the Jack Reacher movie!!!)
Also Michael Connelly .. Harry Bosch books.
Both are great characters and well written.
