Jokes are great for reading and expanding the Wortschatz. Sorry. I am too lazy to look up the English version. It should be unambiguously derivable. Lol.I remember one year the favorite book I had was a book of jokes. My parents must have gone mental with all the elephant jokes.For easter i gave my 6 year old a book with jokes. He is very encouraged to read now. The jokes mostly suck. But he reads.
Then the diaries might be a hard sell.I teach adult ed, so they have to be 17. Most are drop outs, 18 or older.How old are the guys?
If young then check out diary of a wimpy kid by jeff kinney. It is a series and i witnessed it making avid readers out of nintendo kids. Same goes for the Harry Potter fast food.
Or anne frank's?Then the diaries might be a hard sell.I teach adult ed, so they have to be 17. Most are drop outs, 18 or older.How old are the guys?

I didn't know Stephen King wrote short stories! A lot of my students talk about liking the horror genre in movies. So maybe books, as well.I teach adult ed, so they have to be 17. Most are drop outs, 18 or older.How old are the guys?

If attention spans are at issue, try books of short stories. Rarely more than a few chapters, completed in a short period of time, almost instant gratification...
Ray Bradbury... Philip K. Dick... Stephen King...
When I was in high school, I read all of the works by Louis L'Amour. Not short stories necessarily, though he wrote some, but westerns. Who doesn't love a good western?
Call of the Wild and White Fang by Jack London
Man's Search for meaning by Victor Frankl
The poem If by Rudyard Kipling
Lord of the Rings of course
A lesser known series The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant by Stephen R Donaldson

Arthur cWho Clark?Heinlein, Asimov, Clark to get them hooked.
Donaldson, Brooks, Tolkien to keep them going. Donaldson's vocabulary may be a bit large for them.
After that, they'll know what they want and will get it.
