Whenever I'm mad I go to 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica and punch ugly people as they walk by.

Im not sure of books to recommend but, you should look into 5-htp. It might not be for you but its cheap very little side effects and works miracles for many people.
I'm far from a DR. but to me anger seems more like a reaction to an under lining problem like depression anxiety and panic attacks. A lot of people have these problems and don't even know it.

"The pain body wants to survive, just like every other entity in existence, and it can only survive if it gets you to unconsciously identify with it. It can then rise up, take you over, "become you," and live through you. It needs to get its "food" through you. It will feed on any experience that resonates with its own kind of energy, anything that creates further pain in whatever form: anger, destructiveness, hatred, grief, emotional drama, violence, and even illness.
So the pain body, when it has taken you over, will create a situation in your life that refects back its own energy frequency for it to feed on. Pain can only feed on pain. Pain cannot feed on joy. It finds it quite indigestible.
Once the pain body has taken you over, you want more pain. You become a victim or a perpetrator. You want to inflict pain, or you want to suffer pain, or both. There isn't really much difference between the two. You are not conscious of this, of course, and will vehemently claim that you do not want pain. But look closely and you will see that your thinking and behavior are designed to keep the pain going, for yourself and others.
If you were truly conscious of it, the pattern would dissolve, for to want more pain is insanity, and nobody is consciously insane."

anger management is a joke.
i've had to do court ordered anger management for 6 months when i was like 16, and they made us read those books as mandatory reading with tests. it's all a big joke. at one point after one of our classes, these two fake thugs got into a fight outside and one of them put the other kid's head through the drivers side window. after that, everyone in the class knew it was a big joke.

Meditate.
I used to have major problems with proper "red mist" rage that often led to me being violent, hurting people and breaking things. It was very addictive at the time because those rage hormones make you feel awesome, just like the incredible hulk. Until you have to deal with the consequences.
I calmed down anyhow as I got older, but since doing meditation, I've learned to spot it and redivert it.
Anger : Buddist Wisdom for cooling the flames by Thict Nhat Hahn is pretty good, even if he does bang on about vegetarianism a bit much for my liking.
Also, from personal experience, with anything emotional, just reading techniques won't help - it's the practice and self-acceptance over time that makes the big difference.

An interesting quote from the book/movie Factotum:
And I definately agree here:
