Guys Read: This is an initiative started by John Scieszka (like Fresca) and others to get boys to read. It's an amazing resource for literature geared toward boys. You can find a link at the bottom of the Guys Read page to Scieszka's website. He's an outstanding advocate for boy's literacy and has some awesome stuff on his website as well.
Book Clubs 4 Boys: This is a website put together by a mom that holds book clubs with her boys. As I've mentioned before one of the problem's of boys' literacy is that there are feminine stigmas attached to reading. When you think of book clubs, you generally don't picture a bunch of men sitting around discussing a book. She designs her book cub meetings so boys can further discuss books, but also have some fun with projects relating to what they've read. Check out her site, it's got some spectacular stuff for boys to get involved in.
Books for Boys: Another list of some great literature for boys.
