Terrific list. I read and enjoyed That Old Cape Magic. <br /><br />I’d add The Poacher’s Son by Paul Doiron. It’s centers on a messed up father-son relationship, but it’s beautifully done. It’s a suspense thriller set in the north woods and good for even the most reluctant readers. My husband loved it too.Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-3242182393996400922010-06-13T16:52:07.358-07:002010-06-13T16:52:07.358-07:00When I saw my dad last month I recommended THE BRO...When I saw my dad last month I recommended THE BROOKLYN NINE to him - it's a short story collection covering nine generations of a family & their love of baseball. Dad's a baseball fan and it's a middle grade kid's book, so my (non-reader) dad felt like he was making a lot of progress which kept him going through all nine stories.<br /><br />As for actual father's day, he's getting a couple of baseball movies since he's said he wants to spend his retirement collecting classic baseball films.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223450892316241062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206029274559460902.post-48776880912813090732010-06-13T15:05:34.562-07:002010-06-13T15:05:34.562-07:00Fun idea!
