If attitude is part of his problem Kerouac, Bukowski et. al. will make it worse. They're terrific writers but give you such a bad personality you'd better have some talent (and friends) to burn when you start on them.
The bigass anthology idea is a good one, methinks. Having a spread you can browse and take-or-leave in sections is good when you're getting your feet wet.
