Movie Prop ideas

I am shooting a student film next weekend and need some ideas for a prop for one of my actresses. One of the scenes in the movie the main actress is sitting on a bench reading a book in a metropolitan park. She is a serial killer in this story....I was wondering what would be a good book for a serial killer to be reading...something ironic? Can you guys think of any books that might stand out to the audience...to give the scene an interesting touch?
Thanks!

Farewell to Arms (also used in Evil Dead 2)

This entirely depends on the personality and background of the serial killer.

Death in the Afternoon? American Psycho?

Probably the best choice for an unsuspecting looking killer to be reading. Everyone in the audience should get the joke.

What about some cheesy feel good/self help book like chicken soup for the soul or Im OK your OK.
