some help with picking some books

[Cooler Then Jesus]

i can go to borders and pick up any book if you think they sell it there, im looking to get atleast 5-6 books. i dont really want to go into any detail, but it for a freind of mine, 24 years old, 35 days, all he can bring is clothes and books, i know hes read things like Art of War, fear and loathing, anything that he might not have read before ( he doesn`t read mutch ;| ) things like War Stories, maybe some mafia stuff would be cool, as long as its not fake, real events would be cool, when it comes to war stories, and mafia stuff. he likes cars (mostly ford mustangs, 88-96) also i dont know if this would help mutch, but here is some bands i know he likes

Tool
type o negative
older stuff like willie nelson (i think?) and johnny cash
jimi hendrix
greatful dead book would be REALLY awesome, jerry garcia biography?
pink floyd, and other psychadelic stuff, would be cool.
Slayer
The Doors, some sort of story book, maybe a jim morrison biography?
pantera

even if youve got a suggestion for a book that you think a kid like him might like, im already trying to bring him a mini DVD player, and a buncha comedy, action, war, etc. DVD`s and band live DVD`s.

help would be really appreciated, as he is really going to need some good read, im trying to see if i can get my old acoustic guitar, some picks, and a tableture book so he could learn to play a little, but its hard tog et him stuff like that, damn strict ass rehab teachers. hes a full grown man goddamit! espeacilly since its costing over 1,000$ a day to be there, so if you ask me, there should be a couch, king size bed, flat screen, day spa, massuse, that kinda shit, money would have been better spent on a fancy hotel for him to stay at and sober up (since that is what he wants to do, he says, but i dont know what these people at this place are REALLY doing for him except for treating him like a prematurley born baby. for more then a month, but i make sure i dont leave him hangin, people come see him alot. hes got alot of balls to agree to sometihng like this over some damn oxy contin, but i dont know, ive never eally been addicted to opiates.

when i got hurt snow boarding, he was there like every other day, and i would get my street clothes on, and walk right out, me and him, and then i would go home, see my girl, take a shower, get baked, and then have the hospital calling to have me come back and that i can not leave until blah blah blah days when they can discharge me and i am heald. he went in my room at home and got my bong, and got some of HIS bud, that he doesnt even smoke, only sells, and he was there to smoke me out ALL the time, even brought a space cake on my b-day, no one suspected a thing, but the hospital would get mad and say that i stall have to come back till my discharge date, he even brought his girlfreinds lap top, and i stole the wirless net connect at the hospital, or it might have been the hotel next door, all i know, is that i was playing counter strik against him in the hospital room at the hospital, and he was at home, playing me, and my brothers where playing too, it was so sick, lol.

thanks owl, i wrote those down.

immense amount of drug use, robbery, murder, sex, gang wars? anything like that?

This thread makes less sense than christianity itself.

[JerryGarcia]

Hostage by Robert Crais is a great book, Cry the Beloved Country is good, On the Road is good.

Dracula sucks though, never read Dracula.

[LuckyNiner]

On the Road is good.

Agreed x10. Jack Kerouac is incredible.

A few more recommendations:

Donnie Brasco - Joseph D. Pistone - True-life story written by an undercover cop who infiltrated the Mafia. Amazing read, and what makes it even better is that it's all true.

God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater - Kurt Vonnegut
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey

Anything by Ken Follett, John Grisham, or Thomas Perry is also bound to be good.

[Reefer Rogue]

Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom
Who's afraid of a large black man - Charles Barkley
Philosophy for dummies - Genius
The stranger

[Kid Dynamite]

i have a big book about the grateful dead called Long Strange Trip by dennis mcnally, who was the bands publicist for a good few years and a friend of jerry garcia. Its a pretty much comprehensive history of the band.

theres pictures too. Glossy ones.
