When Clint recovers from that, he does explain them and then nudges Thor towards something better - all ranges, since books are a great way to get a handle on life on Midgard (Danny The Champion of the World, The Hunger Games, Salem's Lot, One Corpse Too Many, Game of Thrones series). Basically books he's read, and ones he gets recommendations on from the team and Fury and Hill.
He starts taking Thor out to places as well - minus the battle army and sentient hammer - like museums, shows, the park, churches. Even nightclubs (where Tony tags alone).
I will love you forever if Clint, still injured/on painkillers, overdoes it and passes out and Thor has to carry him. If it was anybody else, Clint would give them shit over that, but it's Thor so that's ok.

“What are you reading?” Clint asked, popping the bite of dry toast into his mouth and chewing slowly.
“The tale of Isabella the human and Edward the vampire,” Thor declared.

“Why?” Clint asked.
“I asked Tony for tales of adventure for this realm and he-“
Clint cut him off with a wave of his hand. “Next time, ask me. Stark’s messing with you.”
“Ah.” Thor said, nodding. “So my confusion over this narrative was not due to my misunderstanding Midgardian social norms?”
“Not only because ( ... )

Thor’s introduction to television and films had gone over extremely well, but he was used to an active lifestyle, much like the rest of them, and wouldn’t or couldn’t sit still for longer than the space of a film at any one time. They had discovered that Thor’s fondness the Asgardian practice of oral tales had carried over into a willingness to read the ‘great tales of Midgard’ since he could consume them in small bursts.
Clint pushed at the tray, while he thought. While not what anyone would call conventionally educated, Clint had always been a reader; it was a way to stay quiet and out of the way, yet entertained at the same time when his father was…well. He’d never owned a large number of books until e-readers became accessible, simply due to space and his mobile lifestyle. “Have you read The Lord of the Rings yet ( ... )
