Find books on what he likes to read in magazines.
If it is something he doesn't like, he will never read.
Now, I am going to play Devil's advocate.
Does your husband want to read books?
Is he an adult?
Does he hold a job?
Does he have any hobbies that you don't do?
Here is the thing. If he doesn't want to read, don't push him. He is not a child that must do homework.
He is an adult with his own mind.
But if it is that important to you to have a husband that reads book, do the guy you are married to a favor and leave him now.
You knew he didn't read when you married him, so why should he read now?
You push too hard and all it will do is lead to him resenting you. Or maybe he will decide you should do something that doesn't interest you.
My ex tried to tell me what I should do. I left him as fast as I could because I didn't want to be married to a controlling person.
My husband doesn't read for pleasure. That is his choice because he is an adult.
I don't like fishing so I don't fish. He likes fishing.
Now yes, he knows I always have books. And other hobbies. I know he has his own hobbies.
We make it work. When he fishes I either read or work on one of my many hobbies.
So long story short: is forcing your husband to read a book more important than him being happy?
Suggest, find books on his hobbies or things he likes, but do not tell him he has to read.
Is his not reading books a marriage breaker?
