Jay and Nas have probably got the most book references and put people on.

Trey Songz was talking about how Jay put him onto the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. He also read Pimp by Iceberg Slim. Nas is a big Donald Goines and Langston Hughes fan.

I've read a couple Donald Goines books myself, sh1t was overly real. I got a small collection not really big on novels unless it is a must read like.

- The Celestine Prophecies
- The Da Vinci Code
- The Alchemist
- etc.
