    Book recommendations for retired father?

    Do novels count? "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follet. I retired early three months ago. This book puts a lot of life's hard work to take care of your family in perspective. He has the time (1000 pages, 12th century England). Not much has changed in the last 900 years.
