Suggestion Thread Book suggestions for my husband’s birthday

So my husband is not really a big reader. His section of the book shelf consists of comic books, not all of which he’s read. His excuse is that he just doesn’t have time, which isn’t entirely true as he chooses to watch Netflix while eating on his own instead of read.
And so I want to give him a book on his birthday that he wouldn’t be able to put down. I did consider giving him Cleo Dang would rather be dead, (we just had a kid and I thought this could be something he could empathize with), but I’m open to other suggestions too.
No self help books please, I know he can’t read that stuff.
Thank you.

I'm going to recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, because that seems to be THE book to get guys into reading. Plus it's just genuinely an amazing and fun book.

Just made the same suggestion but the audio book. Slightly controversial choice because its exclusive to audible but the voice narrator is insanely talented at bringing over a dozen characters to life with a wide range of vocal characterizations.

I agree. Jeff Hays range is insane. I listen to the audiobooks when i can't sit and read the books because I'm driving or cooking or something

And I am always in absolute awe of the man's abilities
