Yeah that's definitely one I've seen thrown around, I've actually compiled a list from various sources and would love feedback on it if you wouldn't mind.
Principles of Communism - Engels
Karl Marx - Lenin
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific - Engels
Wage, Labour and Capital - Marx
State and Revolution - Lenin
Capitalist Realism - Fisher
and then I'm thinking of throwing in some sort of history book (currently thinking A People's History of the United States) that talks about all the imperialism America does since it gives him a good foundation to defend any criticisms of the US he might make to other people. Then as some more long term stuff I'm thinking Lenin's "Imperialism, The Highest Form of Capitalism" and some form of media criticism a la Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" or Parenti's "Inventing Reality".

That looks like a great reading list. He’s lucky to have you as a friend.
