The Hobbit
Obviously not for when he's just learning basic words and whatnot, but there's a reason that the Hobbit has been a mainstay in children's literature for almost a century. A fun adventure that instills a desire to see the world in a young child's brain is an incredibly important thing. Reading is great (and it's the mark of a good father that you want to read to your son), but it's important that one doesn't retreat into books instead of seeing the world.

Also, don't give your kid a personal iPad (or ideally any iPad). My god, the amount of times I go out to eat and see a family where the kids just have screens stuck in their faces so their parents don't have to talk to them is heartbreaking. Talking to kids is important, you need that face to face time with adults when you're growing up.

I am looking for something where a completely normal, boring, non-magical person is pulled into a fantastical adventure where they feel completely powerless to make any difference.
Can anyone recommend me something?

Already read [pic related].

It’s not good

any other books without women in it?

Does anyone think Tolkien wrote better books tha The Lord of the Rings?

My dream for old age is to be a wandering old man with a huge backpack filled with soft cover copies of "The Hobbit" and just randomly gift them to small children I see about the world.

Anybody else get that feel?

Here's a fantasy book for your two young boys.

It was written by a Monarchist, so I consider it right-wing.

always a cozy read

Good or bad post em

The only book to ever make me laugh out loud, at least since I was a retarded little child, so the distinction goes to it by default.

Same choice for both.

>"I won't let this flying kike live for burning my town! " Said Bard before he shot his aryan arrow at the wyrm.
How the fuck did Tolkien get away with this!

Do i need to read the Bible and the Germanics in order to understand this? Or would I be fine just on it's own?

I remember our teacher told us these books were been banned in our country because they were too formulaic and made like on an assembly line. Can't find any info on that though, maybe they were just removed from school libraries, which wouldn't surprise me.

just read the first chapter of this

why didn't he just tell the dwarves to fuck off?
