But how about we recommend some present-tense works to help unscramble his brain?
Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow is written in first-person present tense -- which was very very odd for genre fiction at the time. (Quite a few of the legal thrillers that followed it were written in the present tense, presumably to emulate it.)

A lot of new adult books are written in the present tense. Some young adult books are in the present tense, too. (I think The Hunger Games was in the present tense?)
