my brother, who used to *never* read at all when we were teenagers, found "a clockwork orange" in my room & devoured it in a couple of hours. he was like "it's gooood" and i was like "you actually READ this???"

i don't know if my brother was secretly into ultraviolence (he's pretty mellow), and i suspect what he found appealing was the very simple rose of the book, but maybe start your friend up in a subject he likes? e.g., if he likes sports, a book about sports?
