I have a friend who read Brothers Karamazov and thought it was meh and not worth it, but thinks the Harry Potter books are some of the best shit ever. What should I do with him?

Unique doesn't mean good. If a friend prefers drinking piss over water should i appreciate that unique outlook too

"Friend" means that you were drawn to that person in the first place. Look beneath the surface, and learn something about yourself. Most likely, your friend is an avatar for your repressed desire to enjoy Harry Potter.

Honestly yeah thats pretty interesting. Like think of the logistics

Does he just carry a cup with him everywhere he goes or does he save in a jug. Or a mason jar if he’s a hipster

Much to consider

Just be friends but don't discuss literature with him, easy.

Don't talk about novels IRL, it only leads to disappointment.
