I'm looking for a few recommendations for my Dad (65) he's having a major op soon and will be not hugely mobile for a good bit. He's not a great reader but will need something to entertain him. He's even less of a TV watcher
I've lent him books over the years and he's enjoyed Child 44, the Good German, Girl with a Dragon Tattoo trilogy (a bit long), Band of Brothers, not so much Lee Childs books. I think he probably would have liked the Goldfinch, if it had have been a lot more succinct. I'm thinking more novels than biographies. Books that aren't too long, flowery, or navel gazery and nothing to do with cancer. Anything I've read this year just doesn't seem to be lending itself to what he might like.
