1st of all....your telling us, in 18 years of living your school never required you to read a single fiction book for English class? and you never went to the library and picked up a book before?? 
???
I'm sure folks would have some good choices for you though. Check Brave New World and 1984 , because they have contemporary significance right now.... once you finish reading, look at the year they were written, look up at the world and say
Auto-Biography of Malcolm X is interesting, though its non-fiction.... just read, read, and read.... haven't read much fiction lately in years honestly, the world supplies enough craziness to keep me amused .......

It is an American travesty that you have never been blessed enough to read the literary classics of Dr. Seuss. Shame breh.....shame

I can probably just order it off amazon
If Malcolm X was boring read Monster by Monster Kody. That might be more your speed. If U werent feeling malcom x then "1984" wouldnt be for you.
Caught this immediatly. Pimp was written by Iceberg Slim u fool not Donald Goines. So much for properly acknowledging what helped change your life.
"Pimp" has to much old school slang and might throw that kid off.
My favorite Donald Goines books are anything with Kenyatta like Death List...Swamp Man was my sh*t because of the way dude got revenge.....Black mans burden white mans justice was good.....The way ol boy made dude eat the melted Snicker bar out of that fags ass was Beyond Scared Straight worthy
