Let him find his own way. At 8 years he has plenty of time to discover what he likes. Of course you want to be sure he has opportunity and access to sample many things.
I have been a SF and Fantasy reader most of my life ( pushing 70 now), but I also remember that I did not really find my way there until I was 10 or 12. Before that I read encyclopedias. First SF for me were HG Wells and J Verne. Then Edgar Rice Burroughs. Those are really old fashioned, but still good reads today.
