Naming an actual book would just be a lazy shortcut to charactarisation. It would pat the reader on the back if they both got the reference and agreed with the author's world view. It would pass by every other reader.

Atlas Shrugged.

I personally don't feel strongly about Ayn Rand but that books seems to attract pieces of shit like a fat white girl attracts jiggs

Even better if he doesn't actually read books, but just skims talking points off /lit/ and wikipedia and masks his ignorance with a sneering condescension whenever anyone presses him.

Murakami might work.

Ulysses. He'd be a pretentious pseud who pretends to have an understanding of social dynamics despite being a shut-in loser
