Need advice on a boy

Ok so me and this guy who i've know for my whole life are starting to talk and are almost in the dating stage. Anyway he doesn't usually like to read but knows how much reading means to me, so he text me today asking for a reccomendation on a good book because "he suddenly felt the need to read a good book"! It made me so happy that he is willing to try something that he doesn't usually do just for me so i need suggestions for him. He does like stephen king so i recommended the Dean Koontz books. What else should I reccommend for an 18 year old boy who isn't much of a reader but likes suspense? (I was also thinking The City of Thieves)

Hunger Games FO SHO

 

And if he hasn't read Harry Potter yet, that'd be pretty obvious. Also Eragon.

 

A great website is whatshouldireadnext.com

James Patterson will definitely make him want to read more, whether Womens Murder Club, Alex Cross or any book of the mystery series will definitely make him want to read more.
