No question get this. He'll love it.
Haven't read it but this looks pretty interesting
This one?
It's alright, an interesting read but a lot of time the author just seems to be saying things for the sake of saying things, their music really doesn't have to go incredibly deep. Parts where he talks about the deeper meaning of Creep for a chapter is pretty painful to read.
Embarrassing Edit: Whoops. I was talking about this book. :|
First half was pretty good. Gets into 'the philosophy of art' mode far too easily for me.
But it was quite fun to find out that I agree and disagree with several interpretations of other fans about songs and albums.
I'd say pick it up.
I keep Radiohead and Philosophy in my bathroom. It's part of a series of pop culture "philosophy" books, and it's really just a collection of articles relating their music to philosophical ideas. It covers a little bit of everything through In Rainbows. Some articles are definitely better than others, not really a book to read from front to back in one sitting.

Edit: Here's the entire list of those pop culture philosophy books if anyone is interested. Seems to be one for everything.
