I don’t know what to gift him as all he had mentioned was that he wanted to start reading books, any suggestions?

So do I, but that doesn't mean I ever will. Be a proper father and buy him some video games.

Literally a creepy old man's harem fantasies. Reading this literally made me feel gross.

You really have to tell us a bit more. Obviously we need to know how old your son is. But also, what is he like? What are his hobbies? What TV shows or films does he like? What country did he grow up in? What country is he living in now?

What are his favourite subjects at school? When he says "he wants to start reading books", does that mean he has never read anything up to now, or he has read lots of things, but not prose fiction?

Buy him one book then, ten will be overwhelming if he just wants to start reading, and will give him excuses to put it off.

Disagree. Buy him 20, then he can’t make the argument: I have nothing to read.

What 19 year old has a kid that’s old enough to read?

Sorry for late reply, he’s 18 and has a wide range of interest and so far I know is he’s reading Brave New World and really liking it.
