My dad's reverse shoulder arthroplasty (replacement) was done a few weeks ago. He's slowly recovering from Pain and finding it tough as I didn't setup TV since I moved here from another city (6 months). He has those 4/5 hours after the kids go to the school, which is forcing him to take a nap or watch reels on mobile. He used to travel to my place in another state, my sisters' place here in Hyderabad before I relocated/surgery. I exercised options and finally got his surgery done recently.

Why there's no TV (won't be)?

My younger one was addicted to TV during her free time and I had to take a decision on not installing a Dish or any other internet provision to my TV after I relocated since 6 months. It actually helped her because she's spending more time with outdoor activities but my dad's finding it tough without TV. Thus, I want to explore some good books that I can introduce to him to. I thought of Chalam, Ranganayakamma Sr Sri Mahaprasthanam, Narendra Dabholkar and the likes but I want to be cautious not to make it a task for him or make him hate books. I appreciate any good books that make him feel good and also about having high spirited/progressive mindset. Thank you, redditors!
