I really want to nail this— it might be my only shot to get him into fiction! Every so often he will dabble in a self help book but never reads past the first few chapters (as if anyone needs to read past that anyway!)
I love mysteries, fantasy, historical fiction, and some thrillers. I’ve recently loved Chain-gang All Stars and The Guest. Was thinking maybe Stephen King’s The Stand but worried it might be too long. Also considering Harry Potter but I’ve listened to them a gazillion times and would like something new myself.
I think he’d like something a little dystopian, action-packed and fast moving.
Thanks in advance!!

If you’re open to more middle grade fantasy, I recommend [Nevermoor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/51da4742-ca09-4638-9c93-f13440bff12b) by Jessica Townsend! It’s my favorite series even as an adult, the only one that makes me feel the way the Harry Potter books used to, and the audiobooks are excellent!
i’d say maybe another King! Maybe 11/22/63 or Misery!
What about some Narrative non fiction? Like Into Thin Air or The Wager?
