Question

2. He likes reading novels and to listen to music.

(Is #2 un grammatical?)

3. He proposed to go to the movies.
4. He proposed going to the movies.
5. He suggested to go to the movies.
6. He suggested going to the movies.
(Which ones are ungrammatical among #3 and #6?)

Answer 1

Yes, 2 is incorrect. #1 has parallel construction (reading, listening), but #2 doesn't (reading, to listen).

I'd use 4 and 6. I wouldn't use 3 or 5.
