My brother was told he has slightly high cholesterol, and so he was making an effort to lower it... but didn't know what to do, really. I knew if I gave him a book (Superfoods Rx), he wouldn't read it. But I knew how the book could help him (b/c it helped my friend's DH lower his from dangerously high, to now being a great #). So, I bought the book (for like $8 at Rite Aid), and looked up "cholesterol" in the glossary at the back, and then I turned to every single page that had "cholesterol" mentioned, and I underlined the pertinent parts in red and dog-eared the pages.
When I handed him the book he said that was really smart, b/c he wouldn't have read it otherwise (MEN!). That was a few months ago, and since then he's mentioned it to me a few times (so I can tell he actually read it and took some of it to heart).
Would something like that work for your DH? Mine doesn't read anything, but if I highlight a small part and stand in front of him while he reads it, or lay in bed next to him while he reads it, then that seems to work.
