Have you considered getting him something "hard-boiled"?

Like an egg...?

That would be amusing, but I was referring to the genre of detective fiction.

I'm not smart enough to know anything about that... (ﾟｰﾟ;

It's predominantly in English, I believe, although there are books in Japanese as well. Shotaro is very fond of "hard-boiled detective stories". Perhaps you're familiar with the alternate term "detective noir"?

Maybe...?

Would the library have something like that? So I can look and find the best ones.

It would. But a library book one has to return after only a few days is hardly a birthday present.

Oh, I didn't mean like that! I meant so I could look at them all and pick a good one...

But that would take a super long time...

I believe he's fond of the author Raymond Chandler.
