Fathers day is a few weeks away, June 19th, and this year I'd like to gift him a book.

He doesn't read much of anything, and his interests include golfing, watching UFC, and collecting alligator themed knick-knacks.

So far, I've been thinking something from Raymond Chandler, an early Tom Clancy, or looking for a quality bibliography of a golf man or popular MMA fighter.

What are some good Dad books in your opinion or from your experiences?

my dad would probably appreciate a book on peter paul and mary, or simon and garfunkel, or some other musician he liked during his time.

He would probably want a national geographic subscription too, maybe. He liked to read books like self-help ones. Like how to impress your boss, management stuff.

He wasn't really a big reader though

I mean there are billions of fathers in the world, you probably have to pick based on his own bookshelf

Maybe get him some power tools? I'm kindof lost, I guess I never bought anything for my dad
I don't recommend classical literature though, because he just won't read it if he doesn't already. I know I wouldn't read most books people would think to give to me, unless I asked for one specifically (like a box set of pynchon, that'd be great)

Then don't buy him a book, dumbass. Buy him something he will enjoy.

Jesus Christ, the autism on this board is off the charts.

Last book I bought for my dad was "With the old breed", a WW2 memoir by Eugene sledge. Bit my dad is a bit of a history buff. One of the best WW2 Japan books though. Great prose and descriptions of the war zones.
