Hope you're having a great day, Grey's Assistant! I've got three book recommendations!
The First is A Walk in the Woods, or any Bill Bryson Book (At Home and One Summer are great as well). Bill Bryson hikes the Appalachian Trail, discussing in humorous detail the process as well as delving into history on America's parks and trails.

Next is "The Grasshopper Trap" by Patrick McManus. Another columnist, this time appearing in a lot of fishing and game magazines. I doubt Grey has read these. They're fairly short stories and light reading. McManus tells (or invents) stories from his childhood living in a rural setting, and has a lot of funny stories from hunting and fishing trips from his adulthood. It's a little "blue collar comedy tour", and a little "guy humor" but pretty wholesome and really entertaining. I seriously doubt Grey would have read these, which is why I am suggesting it in the first place.

Finally, and this one is the most niche of all, is Nature's Flyers: Birds Insects, and the Biomechanics of Flight by David E. Alexander. This book straddles the line between a textbook and non-fiction informative reading. It goes into different types of flight, the physics of natural flight, which animals do what kinds, why their bodies allow them to fly the ways they do, migration, how animals may have evolved flight, the impacts on the world... it's just a fascinating book, but it can require focus to read. This appeals to me since I studied Mechanical Engineering and love birds, but there's a chance it may tickle Grey's fancy as well. If he's looking something to test his enhanced focus after Project Cyclops, this is a good one.
Unfortunately this book is not on kindle. Used versions can be acquired from Amazon for around 20 dollars.
