My co-worker is starting to read and I’m trying to think of books that will keep him excited enough to continue. I’m female and much younger so the fiction I read as a teen won’t appeal to him.
He’s your average American man with a very, very limited education — white, single, 50 year old male in an administration job in the military. He likes fishing and hunting and your run of the mill action movies. He’s a big gossip and loves drama so maybe that’s a different avenue to explore?
He CAN read and write, but very slowly and says he is currently only able to read about 5 pages in a sitting (this might be because the reading level of The Martian was too hard for him). His vocabulary is very limited. I’m thinking young adult or older reading level but hopefully with a storyline that a 50 year old would appreciate.
