Dr Suess are actually very good for learning to spell. Yeah I agree don't make him read something he doesn't want to, let him read the Suess as well. Reading is reading. And just because he can read at a level higher doesn't mean he has to every second. Reading is also supposed to be fun.
Dr. Seuss is a favourite at our house too. But hey, each to his own, right? If your son loves the rhythm of words in Dr. Seuss, he might like some fun poetry. You could try Shel Silverstein, or again, A.A. Milne (When We Were Very Young, and Now We Are Six.) My kids love and have memorised a number from those two books.
Or for a bit of nonsense apart from Dr. Seuss, try some of Robert Munch's stuff. Most kids love it. Easy, fun reading, but nothing wrong with that once in a while.
