text: what should i get my friend for his birthday? he's in the airforce, and he's in grad-school, and next year he's going to law school.  he said he would like a nice book any ideas? it all depends on the type of books he is into. the oath is a book i'm currently reading at it is really good. you could also go for a classic like moby dick, tom sawyer, or how to kill a mockingbird.
