Dreamy arsonist cum shoplifter Tre Arrow has had plenty of time to catch up on his reading since his 2004 arrest in Canada. The Free Tre Arrow Web site, maintained by pro-Tre advocates, lists 45 titles under Arrow’s “Suggested Books,” but it appears he may have exhausted the prison’s literary resources. An August 28th blog posting asks readers to mail used books to Arrow in prison.
The titles most urgently requested: Howard Zinn’s leftist handbook A People’s History of the United States: Present – 2003, “any hardcover English language dictionary,” and Harry Potter, volumes one through seven.
It is unclear whether Arrow became a fan before his incarceration. His lawyers did not return our calls.

He looks more like a hobbit than a wizard.
I love Harry Potter! If I were in prison, that is what I would choose to read too. I’m sure it helps the time pass away. Question! Why did you use the word "cum" in the first sentence of the article….pervert.
"Dreamy arsonist cum shoplifter Tre Arrow"
Cum. preposition: with; combined with; along with (usually used in combination): My garage-cum-workshop is well equipped.
Pervert.
I don’t think that there’s much question that Tre Arrow is crazy enough and sane enough to be a good candidate for rehabilitation and eventual return to society. If he did the things for which he has been sent to prison, they seem pretty stupid to me, but which of us has not done stupid things? I have a friend who ALMOST eloped with a CHP motorcycle in the early Seventies, and only a sudden burst of clarity kept him from doing this stupid thing…
I’m going to bite the bullet and send him my three favorite books, even before I visit his Get-Tre-Free Website to see what books he suggests. Without being one tiny mite patronizing, he’s still young. I’m deeply curious if he’s read The Last Whole Earth Catalog.
That said, I don’t have the stones to go to prison for any of my beliefs. It just isn’t an option for me. The fact that he can do it means that he knows something I don’t.
Arrow didn’t exactly go to prison voluntarily, and he’s not too stuck on principle to die a martyr. This message from his site, August 28: "I plead guilty to these charges to avoid going to trial and possibly spending the rest of my life behind bars if found guilty."
He also shoplifts cum.
I understand that, Tony. But given the choice between incarceration and suicide, I’ve made my choice long ago.
Poor bastard. Saving the planet is not a stupid strategy, but intelligent tactics will be needed to make that happen.
