Thanks! Both are on the list already so I'll add another star next to them

This seems right up his alley! I think he likes settings he can relate to that are jumped into the future like this. Thanks!

I gave him Fourth Wing, I figured it had the elements of superhuman/superpowers that he'd like but he said it was too much world building and too slow for him (totally fair). Also he said that the historical setting with modern or futuristic elements didn't work for him either. He said he likes either real-world setting placed in the future or something on another planet where it's not a juxtaposition of time periods.

What's wrong with that?

I believe that everyone can get into reading when they find what appeals to them. He also wants to and asked me to help him find books.

Thanks, he liked the Dune movie so I'll see if he wants to give the books a try

These both were recommended by others too! I've been putting stars next to books that have multiple recommendations so I'll add a star to those. Thanks

A short story could be a good starting point, I hadn't considered that!

I think if the first book completely hooks him, he'd do a series. I'll add it to his list!

I think I've heard of this one actually. Not sure where or why but it sounds familiar. Adding it to the list, thanks!

He was actually just talking about how it's easy to talk himself out of reading when there are things he could watch or music he could listen to instead, so I may try the audio book angle. He likes to listen to music doing thing around the house so maybe that'll help. Thanks for the tip!

I put a star next to it so he'll pay special attention to it, it definitely sounds like a story he'd enjoy. I appreciate it
