Just buy him Oscar Wilde's plays, letters and essays. If he's true in his faith, he might find true insight in De Profundis (in my teenagehood I lived in a very similar ideological framework, and this book really changed me).

Also little advice: buy him classics of philosophy and literature, avoid everything else.
Check and tell us, for example, which books by Nietzsche and Kierkegaard he's got: he is already reading extensively Schopenhauer and Cioran, so he must be close to those vibes, and at the very least he should be able to approach them.
Also someone he will certainly love is Montaigne : check if he has already bought his Essais. If he hasn't gift it to him.
All the philosophers I've mentioned are complex, but still accessible, especially if he has actually read Schopenhauer and his historical context (if he hasn't tell him to use the fuckign SEP once and for all). They're hard in the sense that they deserve more independent contemplation than usual, but the actual act of reading will be enjoyable for all 3 philosophers: they were all great writers and their texts are wordcandy.

So my take is: Wilde for fiction, essays and letters (especially De Profundis), Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and Montaigne for philosophy.
