When one of my kids was a reluctant reader, it didn't matter what books I brought him. If a book came from Mom, it was by definition boring.
Things that help: 1) Books that come from friends who love them. Especially if the friend talks enthusiastically to him about what he or she likes about that book. 2) Graphic novels and other books that look visually enticing. 3) Reading books out loud to him at our family's nightly read-aloud time.
