Top Ten Tuesday: Middle-Aged Man Books :)

Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, this week's topic: Your Choice! My Uncle requested that I make a list of top books for middle-aged men.  So, here's my attempt!

1.  In the Woods by Tana French - an Irish crime thriller that's extremely well-written!

2.  Good Omens by Terri Pratchett and Neil Gaiman - hilarious tale of the apocalypse.

3.  Any book by Oliver Sachs - nonfiction for those intrigued by how the brain works.

4.  The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell - a priest and his friends in space...sounds strange but it's a terrific book!

5.  Back Roads by Tawni O'Dell - extremely disturbing novel about a really messed-up family, but very good (soon to be a movie starring Andrew Garfield and Jennifer Garner).

6.  Ready Player One by Ernest Cline - a fun science fiction book that heavily references 80's pop-culture (my husband really liked this one).

7.  Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond - nonfiction for history-lovers.

8.  What is the What by Dave Eggers - the true story of an actual lost boy of Sudan.

9.  Peace Like a River by Leif Enger - a modern Western that is beautifully written with a spiritual message.

10.  Anything by David Sedaris for a good laugh.

There's my list!  Admittedly, I'm not well versed in books of the crime/mystery genres.  Does anyone else have some good suggestions for my Uncle?  If so, leave them in the comments!
