This is lovely. Put him in touch with me and I'll be his editor.

Give him Harry Potter or Hunger Games. He's in danger of becoming a bitter outcast, so you need to turn him into a normie asap.

>>8079054
The Fault in our Stars.
You're meant to be looking out for your brother, not going through his shit & posting it on 4chan. You suck.
>>8079384
Good lord
>>8079054
haven't we all thought that
almost everyone I knew when I was under 10 had discussions about things like that and solipsism, its not like you start wondering about it when you are 18
The World as Will and Representation.
>>8079054
Awesome, give me your brothers number, I must ask his permission to put this is in my memoir at once
The Giver? I know its on some high school lists, he he it's really about middle school reading level.
How well does he read for his age? 10 is about the age where some particularly bright kids start reading well above their level iirc
Stoner, he needs an insight into what passion really looks like
his dark materials trilogy
goat kids books
Finnegans wake. not even jesting desu
>>8079054
Give him only /lit/'s meme books, and see how he grows up, how his mind will evolve, being fed the ego and it's own and finnegan's wake
>>8079054
Start with the Greeks
>>8079054
>my life is perfect

little griffin.
give him some 19th century childrens literature
>>8079458
This
This is unironically good.. wtf
>>8079481
I second this.
Make him read Schopenhauer
>>8079054
Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar, the sooner your read them the sooner you grow up.
This desu senpai
(or start with the greeks)
>>8079054
umm, some classical fairy tales?
i reckon Andersen, or Grimms
>>8082002
That's not going to help him wrestle with the puzzle of existence.
>>8079054
>people unironically thinking this is good
lazy thoughts about existence are common in children, plebs
Call him a pleb and throw the greeks at him one by one while yelling "Start with the Greeks!".
>>8082027
What the fuck are you talking about? The kid should be installed as Waynflete Professor of Metaphysical Philosophy at the University of Oxford immediately. Wake up.
>>8081978
>The Bell Jar
>grow up
