Non-fiction book ideas for bloke who doesn't read?

[ATV]

An uncle on my wife's side recently had an accident and his leg is in plaster. Currently sleeping in the downstairs spare room as it's easier than going up and down the stairs (they have a downstairs bathroom).

He's got a television with Sky+ but he's not really the sort to watch TV (more of an outdoors kind of guy, gardening, walks etc.)

So I took him a few books. He's 62 and told me he hasn't read a book since he left school at 15, he only reads newspapers. So far I gave him my copies of:

Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNabb
Kevin Pieterson autobiography
Richard Branson by Tom Bower

He's loved what he's read so far. He's ordered the Geoff Boycott autobiography. I tried to get him interested in a bit of fiction (Lee Child, Stephen King) but he didn't like it.

He's asked for a few more recommendations so I'd like to ask, what would be an easy but interesting read for him?

I'm thinking some true more crime (Helter Skeltor, Mr. Nice), business books (Alan Sugar, Duncan Banantyne, he likes all that stuff) and a few cricket and football biographies. Maybe military history?

Could anyone recommend anything else? I'm really glad he's enjoying reading again so would love to get some pointers from guys here.
