Hi Torch, has to be rough to get given all the blame when you've done so much work.

He probably really truely thinks he does need to learn anything. I found the Men are from Mars Women are from Venus made me very aware there was plenty I had to learn. It's little sad but title of book made it easy to get it past my male ego.
You could try and 'lure' him into reading a book buy letting him know you have learned some 'useful' (in mysterios kinda way) knowledge that you got from this or that book that was very interesting. He might not be able to resist the idea that you have some 'magic' knowledge that he is missing.

Stick to it \:\)
