/lit/ - Literature

How do I convince my younger brother to stop wasting time with video games and start reading some books? As he sees it, all entertainment is made with the intent of escaping from reality, and when I suggest otherwise he calls me a pretentious asshole. He's not wrong, but I still care about him. He gets really irritable when he isn't at his computer.

What can I do to help him? I used to be the exact same way but literature really helped get me out of that hole. I just don't want to tell him how to live/think.
