I wouldn't prescribe stuff to them because then they'd just resent it. Instead I'd let them run around my massive library and let them grab whatever they want.
Better yet, maybe I'll use reverse psychology and feign trying to keep them from reading in order to encourage them to do so, because kids are little shits and will do anything you tell them not to.

not a book but one thing my dad did was to give me ten cents for every word I encountered while reading, didn't know, and then looked up and wrote down the definition, he would.quiz me from time to time as well

Cool list i guess, but i would change many things (not relevant to mencionate, but just saying).
Also, i think "the stranger" is a bad and nihilistic book and (inb4 "is not nihilism, is absurdism", i'd say some people here are smart enought to know that's the same thing) i haven't read "Atlas shrugged" but i have my prejudices.
I woud add some schopenhauer's (and a few of nietzsche's) books

The only based way of raising your child lit. I'll only have children when I'm either in a good/content place in life or successful. Children will pick up on that and if they're smart they're also going to read smart books inevitably. The best path to parenting would be open dialogue and a massive library: what do you want to read son? smth like that.

I will read often to my future children to instill a love of reading in them, and then I will let them read anything they wish.

the real progression goes like this:

1. fantasy (<15)
2. pop lit (15-16)
3. science fiction (16-17)
4. history/non fiction (17-18)
5. the greeks (18-)

the books rec'd for ages 11 and 12 could be read alongside fantasy but otherwise yea. thats how i see a healthy progression

Narcissistic, terrible parent of the future.

That list is absolutely absurd. No 12 year old is going to enjoy shakespeare or brave new world. kys. my kids will read narnia and roald dahl and whatever else they please. if they want recs as high schoolers i'll show them this list

Force rote memorization of Latin and ancient Greek and beat them if they get their declensions and conjugations wrong

Kek can you imagine how terrible of an impact Atlas Shrugged would have on a 13yr old's behaviour (assuming they understood it, which they wouldn't)

Whatever Eric made his kid read. He seems like a great guy to talk to.
