What age is your son? I couldn't make it through the Catcher in the Rye when I was a teenager for the same reason... I'm pretty good at remembering books that made an impression on me so I might be able to suggest something...?
I'm currently reading Abhorsen - the third in the Garth Nix series - Sabriel and Librael were the first two. An ex lent me Sabriel ("You read children's books about magic don't you?") and I found it interesting enough to pick up the others second hand.
I have at least 5 unread books scattered around my flat, am hoping for a book finding session this weekend.
