I bought If You Give A Mouse A Cookie and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See for my cousins' almost 1 year old. IYGAMAC was the first book I ever read, and BBBBWDYS was the first book my little brother ever read.

Wait he wanted to fuck his mom in story of the eye?
I know in Hogg, the young man was getting fucked by a older man(you could say father figure).
In Lolita, a older guy was fucking/wanted to fuck a younger girl.
OP wants to fuck his sis, and be fucked by dad.... what does he do his mother?

Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland
I read that book at around that age and loved it.
What do you recommend for a sixty year old dad who mostly reads mystery novels by people like Agatha Christie and Donna Leon? He's not a total pleb, he just likes mystery as a genre.

You'd have to read Bataille's explanation of Story of the Eye in order to understand it.
In my copy of it he explains it at the end of the book.
He doesn't want to fuck his mom but he had a very weird relationship with her to say the least.

Ellery Queen has Borge's seal of quality.

Freud and Oedipus????
Hogg and lolita was enough for me, not touching story of the eye.
I have to remember not to take recommendations from you fags.
You guys are turning me ever so slowly, into a more vile degereate creature, who will someday give into his more basic urges.
Fug you

What do I get for that uncle who reads Mein Kampf?
>>7430217
Seriously probably something like pic related. Something well-written that you can flip through on a coffee table or over dinner. No one reads anymore lol
I've given out about 10 copies of Bulgakov's Master and Margarita over the years for Christmas, it's always really well received, and gives me something interesting to talk to the recipients about next time I see them and they've read it.
