They used to make children's books which were just collections of stories about trolly, goblins, giants, etc. from different cultures globally. Always enjoyed those and books of myths and legends.
Most important thing IMO is to get him interested in reading early. Read to him early and often. Reward him with more books and never say no if he wants a new book. Boys tend to be done a disservice by the school system and never have that love of reading in many cases. Even if he just wants you to read him harry potter over and over again just do it.
When he's younger, where the wild things are, toad and frog, magic treehouse series, dr seuss, harold and the magic crayon, etc.

I want to finish reading Plato so I can start and finish Aristotle (concluding the Greeks, for now), then Resume with the Romans, then select periods and essential books up until today. There are so many books I can't look forward to reading but I need to take it one slow step at a time. I enjoy the books along the way but I also enjoy imagining what books I'll read down the line too but they're so far away.
I ought to get back to learning Italian as well but Chinese has me occupied.
Meanwhile all of my friends have girlfriends or are getting there. I'm only 20.
