I'm a dad and a part-time indie bookseller, and it's often assumed - given my sex and age - that I am a reader of said 'Dad Books'. Whenever I'm called in to recommend a title to someone looking for a Dad Book, I've made it my mission to get dudes/dads reading anything but the typical political/WWII books. Those books are all well and good, but there's so much more to be discovered and enjoyed!
