I will second 11/22/63. I thought it was great. Mr Mercedes and Revival were good as well, though the end of Revival was disturbing to me. I have heard that 11/22/63 is a terrific read. I will throw in Doctor Sleep by S. King as well. Just finished it and I love it!!! |

Is he fond of movies? As You Wish by Cary Elwes is a memoir of the making of the Princess Bride and all of the actors wrote pieces for the book. One of my favorite of the year. |

If your dad liked Doc (I loved it!) he might really like the book Sundance I listed above. It was about the Sundance Kid, who doesn't die in Bolivia, but goes to prison and gets out and searches for his wife in NYC. I really liked it.

This would not be a dad book either but, the best book I read this year was
The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
I read it months ago and I still am thinking about it. |

I really enjoyed "Dr. Sleep"....to think that 40 years after writing "The Shining" while a complete drunk to writing that sequel sober and having the two books meld seamlessly is amazing. I also enjoyed his son's "NOS4A2" very much also. That family has huge writing talent.
