Good Monday Morning. How was everyone’s weekend? Despite being fairly busy over the last 2 days, I still managed to time for plenty of reading. I finished the Battlestar Galactica Official Season 4 Companion and am working my way through The Smart One and The Pretty One by Claire LaZebnik. What did you read this weekend?
The reason I managed to find so much time to read this weekend? I’m pretty sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I actually convinced my non-reading boyfriend to pick up a book! Yay me!
This of course made me realize that if I could only get him to read more, I could in turn read without all the interruptions. So here’s where I thought I’d ask my fellow book lovers for assistance… Can you help me with some suggestions of great books for guys?
Now, this request gets even tougher when you take into account my guys’ description of his preferred book genre – “shady PI’s who swear a lot”! (One of his favorite authors is Carl Hiaasen.) Seriously, this is what he tells me when he asks for books! Of course this isn’t a firm requirement, as he enjoyed Marley & Me, No Country for Old Men, and is currently enjoying The Spellman Files.
So, who has a man who loves to read in their life – or even better if you ARE a man who loves to read! – and can suggest some good books for boys?
He might be into the Plum books! Ranger and Morelli pack enough testosterone into those books to appeal to a man who likes PI books.
That’s so funny! I was originally going to give him the first Plum book, but the opening chapter is all about how Steph and Morelli got together, and I was worried that he’d be put off by the girly-ness… so he got the Spellman’s instead. But he’s seen me LOL at the Plum books enough that he’s actually expressed interest. Those may well be my next attempt at getting him to read!
How about the Jesse Stone books by Robert B. Parker?
Tom Selleck has played the part on tv.
I’ve never heard of them before, but I’ll definitely check them out. Thanks for the suggestion!
