Do you have a kind of relationship with your father that you can tell him that you'd find reading the book daunting?
Can you have a "meta" conversation with him about the book instead? -- make him talk to you about the writing process, his favourite part, the part he struggled the most with? I'm sure you can think of meaningful questions.
I guess what I mean is you can show your interest and appreciation in other ways than just reading the book.
