Husbands 45 years old, hasn't read a book since leaving school. We were just talking about our upcoming child free week away. I plan to read lots on the sun lounger and I want to buy him something to read.
His Movie favourites are Sci Fi (The Matrix) and Horror, he's always watching videos on ghosts and aliens.
Any suggestions?

Why didn't you get him on audible instead, maybe he would prefer to listen rather than read.

My DH never reads it wouldn't cross my mind to make him?

I'm not making him, he agrees himself that going 30 years without reading a book isn't great.

Stephen King
The expanse novels
The haunting of hill house
The woman in black
Sherlock Holmes stories
Philip K dick "do androids dream of electric sheep" (inspired bladerunner)
William Gibson Neuromancer (first use of the word cyberspace)
Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

Thanks for all the suggestions I'll take a look. Stephen king is a good shout.

The Martian is a gripping read for men who don't read a lot of novels.
