Get him into good adapted material/source material of movies or tv he likes and branch off from there.

I remember Fahrenheit 451 being the first work of literature that really stuck me as a teen and got me into reading as a whole. Classic SciFi in general I think is pretty accessible.

Actually pretty cool. A lot of DIY ethic in the artists they cover. Can respect that.

If he goes to public school, especially in Florida, gift him pic related. The thinking person can draw the parallels. It helped immensely for me. You are a good dad to encourage reading. Godspeed to you and your son, even if he is just your wife's son.

When I was a teenager I really enjoyed some of the Jules Verne and Stephen King novels my dad had. Also some edgy Chuck Palahniuk stuff in my later teenage years. That was the stuff that got me into reading.
