Never mind, Calvin. If you go to a decent school, you will soon be reading Shakespeare. No car chases, but plenty of the other stuff. The violence doesn’t use guns, though.
Parents have a conspiracy to read somnolence-inducing and calming stories at bedtime. You know, where the slow silent sheep slide simply through the susurrous willows seeking sleep. Of course kids don’t want to hear that: They’re actively fighting sleep time.
Read Bible stories to him. Incest, a woman driving a tent peg into a man’s skull, David cutting off Goliath’s head and waving it around, a guy getting God to send bears to kill a bunch of kids after the kid’s make fun of him for being bald, mothers eating their own children. These great, gory stories and more and found throughout the Bible. Calvin would love ‘em. There’s a few of these stories and more listed here: https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-gory-bible-scenes/jacob-shelton

“Psst, ask him if it has any tigers in it… And if it doesn’t, tell him you want him to read ‘The Fast and the Furriest’…”

I always found it strange when Calvin expressed interest in something lewd, given his usual attitude toward girls.

If he reads Grimm’s Fairy Tales (especially if he can find the more original versions), he’ll get lots of violence at least.
