Father's Day Book Guide: 14 Titles for Every Dad

Forbes published a Father's Day gift guide recommending 14 books for dads, citing declining nonfiction sales and a gender reading gap. The article notes that men read less than women and tend to read books by other men, referencing a Wall Street Journal piece on 'Dad Books Are A Dying Breed.' Nonfiction book sales have declined for four years, with categories like biography, current affairs, and business—popular with men—falling considerably. The guide includes titles such as 'Skyring Water' by Louis L'Amour and Beau L'Amour, 'Thrilling Tales of Modern Men' by Danny McBride, 'Bird Men' by A. J. Baime, 'The Language of Trees' by Katie Holten, 'Detour' by Jeff Rake and Rob Hart, 'Jigsaw' by Jonathan Kellerman, 'Jim' by Shelley Fisher Fishkin, 'Death of the Soccer God' by Dimitry Elias Léger, 'The Martian' Deluxe Edition by Andy Weir, 'Exit Strategy' by Lee Child and Andrew Child, 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Deluxe Edition' by Matthew Stover, 'World War Z Deluxe Slipcase Edition' by Max Brooks, 'Bees–A Guide for the Curious' by Susan E. Clark, and 'Rasputin Swims the Potomac' by Ben Fountain. The article suggests pairing books with gifts like model airplanes, Bonsai Lego, or a meteor.
