I have bought my friend very stupid books in the past such as The Square Root of 4 To A Million Places, but I am stuck on finding new titles. I want a book that is useless and a very stupid thing to recieve.
i don’t give it as a gift but I usually have a copy of the Communist Manifesto in the bathroom for toilet reading. Usually a good conversation starter for guests.

If you want to go a step further and give Children’s Books, P is for Pterodactyl, No Reading Allowed, and All My Friends are Dead are great books.
I absolutely loathe Who Moved My Cheese, which a tech company I worked for around 2000 bought all employees (and soon went bankrupt – I guess getting used to people moving your cheese doesn’t necessarily make your company profitable).
It’s basically brainwashing that if anything is wrong at work, it’s the employees’ fault for not being flexible enough. Told through illustrations of cartoon mice.

A free religious text from a sect your friend is not a part of, eg. dianetics or book of mormon.

Have you given them How to Avoid Huge Ships? Also, How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety seems to be a fun memetic book gift.
