Alright Veeky Forums you're having a kid and can only have them read one book. What book is it?

alright Veeky Forums you're having a kid and can only have them read one book. What book is it?

I don't want my kid trying to be God

Complete Shakespeare or Don Quixote

I already have a kid and I've already read her multiple books. Eat my shorts.

the bible

maps of meaning

meditations of course

This. It's the first full length book I ever read.
I read it over and over and would stare for what felt like hours at the pictures, imagining what it'd be like... A book that really shows a kid what kind of amazing adventures he can have by reading.

...

Leviticus

Is it even a question?

Is that Obama?

care to enlighten us?

if he is not going to read anything else, it would be "ficciones" by Borges.
if he can still read whatever he likes, it would be Don Quijote for sure, best book i ever read

Stay pleb.

What the fuck why is nietzsche yhe cover of Frankenstein

how old is the kid when i give them the book?

if theyre still a child, probably grimms complete fairy tales

if theyre a bit older, probably either the bible or don quixote

adolescence, when there learning how to be a real human

Owen Meany seems like a good one for that age.

...

Mein Kampf

wasnt a hard choice at all

>be user's son
>a little older than a child
>really into all kinds of fiction
>dad says soon he'll give me one book

>open the wrapping around the book
>it's the bible
T-thanks a lot, dad.

Storm of Steel

Then the next time he complains about something I can say, "you think Ernst Junger would complain about something like that? Of course he wouldn't you candy assed faggot. You're a faggot and a loser and you will never amount to anything. KYS yourself you worthless faggot."

Hitler was his Frankenstein's monater

What you have posted.

The correct answer.

Good point. He'll never have to stop reading.

if you do that im calling social services

But does he get to read the first book or the second?

The Don Quixote of book one is not the Don Quixote at the end of book two.

...

Apples don't poop.

What does the wanderer above a sea of fog have to do with Frankenstein

pic related- OP

Good bedtime stories

I actually wondered this myself. But i have that edition so i chose it for pic

Planning on reading it. Which edition should I get?

...

My newly teenaged son just started reading Walden, and is loving it... But if it was only ONE book, goddamn. I don't know.

HG Wells' Outline of History, maybe?

The Hobbit, obv
