The best reading experiences are when my husband and I read together. It leads and inspires us to individually read books of our own. Also when our children were younger, he would read aloud from a book at the dinner table. We read the "Ramona" books "The Lord of the Rings", all of the "Narnia" books.
All of our children, now grown, like to read.
I wish you the best in encouraging your husband to read. You've had a lot of good input!
