I just read Pimp by Iceberg Slim.
It was about 100 pages too long and he can't really write but I liked it otherwise. Now I know why hip hop stars call themselves pimps. It has something to do with this book. I recommend it highly if you need something to read that is fun but not stupid like most pulp fiction books. At the very least you will learn how to be a masterful pimp in the process.
