A book is always a perfect gift idea. For everyone out there, there must be something they will enjoy reading. What is more, a time is always right to appreciate your father with a good read. Perhaps it was he who got you your first adventure book or introduced you to the world of sci-fi books? You could be sharing a common interest for particular authors or genres, like father, like son. Or, maybe, you remember very well, how he read to you your favourite bedtime story over and over. Well, it might be the time to return the favour! Does it seem like a hard choice to pick a title? Let us give you some clues.
Luckily, it has been just released – perfect timing! Whether your dad is King’s dedicated fan or simply enjoys detective novels, you could present him with this nothing but addictive read. The pen master adds new spice to an old routine of playing cat and mouse by a serious killer and a retired cop. The book starts with nightmarish violence. The playground of the vicious crime taking place, seems to be man-land claimed as both main characters are male. Perks? Even if your dad does not like it (so unlikely!), he surely will appreciate your initiative and you will be left with a brilliant read for yourself. Win-win!

The title seems convincing enough, which really helps when it comes to quick choices. Would it be a hasty choice though? No, not at all! This book gathers what boys aged anything between 7 and 70 crave for: adventure, danger, adrenaline, achievement, big wins and tragic fails, movement, bravery, recklessness and the sense of conquering the world which invariably drives and attracts men! It might be a safe way for your dad to experience unimaginable thrills without leaving his comfy sofa! The book is a selection of tales from Wide World magazine, the longest-running true-adventure magazine of the twentieth century. What headings should we expect? ‘I Fell 20,000 Feet’ or ‘A Fight with a Leopard’ and more. Insane, but your father will love it!

Should you wish to appeal to your father’s softer side, we recommend to check this out. Everyone needs a moment of reflection and catharsis, perhaps your dad finds those things when immersed in lyrics. This is a risky choice, because one must love poetry to truly appreciate this gift, but if your dad is one of them, we say – go for it! Buy your dad a touching moment, that might, but not necessarily, bring tears of joy. The book is an anthology that presents great men of writing, acting, and thinking domains that are admired around the world for their work and gives an insight into their souls by revealing a collection of poems that truly moved them. Interesting concept; should your dad see its potential?

There might be a possibility your dad is reluctant to the act of reading. There is also a chance he enjoys his cold golden beverage after work a bit too much for your mum’s liking! No judging – you can still make your dad happy and trick him into interacting with a book by getting this beautifully-made album presenting a collection of over 500 photos of beer cans. Insight into the last century of beer culture, iconic brand from thirty countries and more! It might be a walk of memories for your dad or could inspire him to create his Bucket List of beverages he must try in his lifetime! We do not have to be serious all the time, do we?
