While enjoying lunch with Kris Jenner's boyfriend Corey Gamble in Los Angeles, the 20-year-old singer was reading celebrated literary essayist James Allen's 'As A Man Thinketh' published in 1902, reported TMZ online.

As A Man Thinketh is a classic of the responsibility assumption, which presumes that each person is wholly and totally responsible for everything that happens to them.
