I'd put a book on it you think he might like and put it where he can get it if he wants to and make sure he knows what's on it.
It might be a little less threatening if you put a few short stories on it instead of a book. Individual ones, not a book of short stories.
Ultimately it's his decision whether he wants to read or not. I'm in my mid 70s now and I've been a heavy reader all my life and I've never convinced one single person to try reading. I tried and tried to do that till I learned that no matter what I try it just doesn't work.

Short stories is a great idea! I never thought of that. Problem is I don't know any. Time to research!
