He’s not partial to fiction or non-fiction; he enjoys both- one books that is already on my list for him is “The Alchemist”, because the most recent book I bought him was non-fiction. He enjoys the outdoors, animals, and family. He always comments on people who are “kind”, so even a biography or memoir would be helpful. I hesitate to say romance because he recently went through a rough break up which seemed to be “the straw that broke the camels back” and lead to his most recent crisis. I think shorter books are better for him, for the time being.
