He is 15 and I am trying to expand his interest. He is only interested in the computer. I signed him up to work at our local library. They put him to work in the computer lab. He laughed all the way home his first day. He is holding an A in English and he wants to be a writer/ computer programmer.

Buy him computer books. (but let him pick the ones he wants.)

I never read much when I was his age, and certainly not classics. Now I'm one of Amazon's biggest customers. I think the key to getting someone interested in reading is motivation. Right now the computer is his motivation. Use it.
