Three books to send a 60 year old male recovering from surgery. These are what first came to mind. What do you think?
The Outsider, Stephen King
I am Pilgrim, Terry Hayes
Still Life, Louise Penny.
Interested to hear your comments. Will be ordering later today. TIA. LM
PS, do you think he would like Louise Penny? I do. A good storyteller. The male is my brother.

I don't remember the names of the books in particular but I think he might like the books by Clive Cussler. You could go on his website or google his name and he has a lot of books which I think your friend might find enjoyable.

The Memory Man series by David Baldacci.

Does he have a Kindle or iPad?

@lolakimono , he has an ipad but not the most techie. I am on one coast and he is on the other so I am going for paper books. LM

How about some books that are easy-reads:
Ever Wonder Why: Here are the Answers
Sorry, I tried cutting and psting, but it didn’t work well.
These two books, and others similar, are available on Amazon, and can be directly shipped to his address as a gift. My Dad wasn’t much of a reader, but always enjoyed books like these.

How about something by Jeffrey Deaver?
‎08-13-2019 08:01 AM
Still Life, because it's set in Canada.

To already recommended Baldacci and Deaver, I would add the Bosch detective series by Michael Connelly. I think they made a series on one of the TV channels.
Another approach if he has a hobby or special interest would be a book with color pictures, e.g., automobiles, sports, etc.
