The Predator:
You Got nothing coming - jimmy Lerner

Its story about a old jewish guy who ends in the pen a few years back surrounded by skinheads, chicano, black gangs, sadistic guards, a low life populatiion etc...One of the funniest n true potrayal of prison life books. Jimmy Lerners free now but that book he wrote of his experience was one of the best reads and will really make ya laugh.




''You Got Nothing Coming, Jimmy A. Lerner's memoir of his first year (of a possible 12) as an inmate in a Nevada state prison, is a shocking, hilarious, and heartbreaking narrative of a world both parallel to and absolutely alien from the one most readers inhabit. With deft, economical prose, Lerner, a middle-aged former marketing director for a major corporation, introduces us to his fellow inmates--swastika-tattooed skinheads, Wiccans, methamphetamine addicts, and fashion-conscious prostitutes, among others--as well as a multitude of prisoner scams, nonexistent but on-the-books rehab programs, and the life-or-death intricacies of the convict code of etiquette. Lerner's ear for prison language is pitch-perfect, and much of what we learn comes directly from the mouths of the incarcerated. Lerner has, in effect, written a nonfiction novel, one artfully laced with mordant humor and by turns tender, caustic, insightful, and relentlessly candid. --H. O'Billovitch''

I pick through books, I don't ever read novels or anything.  But I like books on business and shit like that.  I've heard good things about "Geurilla Marketing", I'll pick that one up soon.
