I read it to my last son when he was yet in the womb. Instead of a normal delivery, he decided on a makeshift C-Section by punching his way out of the womb. When he emerged he was sporting a full beard, sun glasses, and a machete. He used the machete to cut the umbilical cord, then proceeded to kick out the window and repel down the side of the building with the cord. A swat team later corralled him 20 miles from the hospital by pumping him full of tranquilizers. When he awoke, he refused his bottle of formula. On a hunch I blended up a 16 oz. steak with 2 servings of Anaconda which he consumed in a few gulps.
I attribute his supernatural manliness to your book, TC. Thank you.
I really like Goosebumps and the Chronicles of Narnia when I was young.
or John Grisham books, you know, if you want him to be smart.
^SS, I hope I can raise a child to be that manly someday.

Fairy tales from Hans Christian Andersen.
They are as scary as they should be, not the sanitized Grimm brothers stuff.
Also, the whole King Arthur and Parcival stuff. [/quote]
You should read the original tales. Birds swoop down and pluck the eyes from the “false sisters” at the end of Cinderella. One side from each at first, and the other from each later on. In another version the step mother was also made to put on torturous shoes and was forced to dance herself to death at the wedding reception.
[/quote]
Is there a collection?[/quote]
Jack Zipes makes a good translation in his book “The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm”, but there are other translations, like by Margaret Hunt which was published under a similar title, and many of the tales can be read online courtesy of the literary departments of various universities.
I was mistaken; it was the witch queen who was forced to dance in torturous shoes at the end of Snow White.
[quote]And Snow-white was willing, and went with him, and their wedding
was held with great show and splendor. But Snow-white’s
wicked step-mother was also bidden to the feast. When she had
arrayed herself in beautiful clothes she went before the
looking-glass, and said,
looking-glass, looking-glass, on the wall,
who in this land is the fairest of all.
The glass answered,
oh, queen, of all here the fairest art thou,
but the young queen is fairer by far as I trow.
Then the wicked woman uttered a curse, and was so wretched,
so utterly wretched that she knew not what to do. At first she
would not go to the wedding at all, but she had no peace, and
had to go to see the young queen. And when she went in she
recognized Snow-white, and she stood still with rage and fear,
and could not stir. But iron slippers had already been put upon
the fire, and they were brought in with tongs, and set before
her. Then she was forced to put on the red-hot shoes, and dance
until she dropped down dead.[/quote]
“But iron slippers had already been put upon the fire”…
That’s some premeditated shit right there. lol

As did I. Now I have three.
I made sure the first book I ever read to the boy was The Old Man and the Sea. He’s five now and we’re reading Around the World in 80 Days, again, because he really liked it the first go round.
Jack London. Great for kids (it’s what mom used to teach me to read).
Hardy Boys can be OK
Redwall
The Once and Future King
Narnia (the first couple atl east–I think the last 2-3 were just weird for a kid)
Potter of course
Jules Verne’s stuff was fun too.
The White Mountains
The City of Gold and Lead
The Pool of Fire
When the Tripods Came
all are by John Christopher and I HIGHLY recommend them all.
The Great Brain series by John D. Firtzgerald

My dick fell off from all the xenoestrogens in the plastic cups I’ve been microwaving my day-old coffee in.
Can I have one of your spares?

Were you like me and started at the very beginning of the series? I read one of the early ones and liked it so I went back to the library and checked out every one that they had and read them all chronologically. The reason I ask is because I vaguely remember some of the later books being more about the Great Brain’s worthless little brother more than the Brain himself and I didn’t like those as much. The rest of them I absolutely loved though.

Spares!? If I had three you can be sure that they would all be used.
I’ve got to recommend George MacDonald, who was a big inspiration to C.S. Lewis. The Princess and the Goblin was one of my favorites as a kid.
Whatever you do, DO NOT read I’ll Love You Forever - By Robert Munsch saddest book ever.
Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story
His Dark Materials series
Pendragon series (or at least the first few)
Redwall was definitely one of my favourite series growing up, but also check out other children’s books by Brian Jacques. If your son likes his writing style they won’t disappoint.
