My ds will only read about football. He is a mini John Motson.
He studies his awful Match comic every week.
This may inspire him to read fiction again.

Oh god it's awful.
He has piles of back issues which he studies.
Although he was very pleased to tell me that the Arsenal keeper's favourite book is The Kite Runner-so some cuture filtering through!
