My husband and I are the classic "gamer boy, reader girl" pairing, but he's started reading a chapter or two with me before bed. Mr. Birch about to finish his current read and doesn't know what to pick up next. (I read mysteries and romances, so I'm no help whatsoever... as you'll see from the lists below.) What would you recommend? He plays action and massive multiplay online RPGs too. Thank you so much!
Books he's read and enjoyed (last three suggested by me, yay!): Dune by Frank Herbert Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey Harry Potter series by You Know Who Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Books he disliked and/or DNFed (all three suggested by me, ouch!): The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
P.S. It's late here in Europe, so I won't be able to respond to comments until tomorrow morning.

I'm talking the ones you can't read in public because you can't stop laughing. Not the ones that made you snort or chuckle dryly. The ones that made you cry real tears and made it so you couldn't breathe.
I'm making a list and I want your very best gut busters.
Here are my contributions so far:
*Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh *Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison *The Humans by Matt Haig *Dress Your Family in Courderoy and Denim by David Sedaris
