Shia LaBeouf and girlfriend Mia Goth shopped at Barnes and Noble in the valley over the weekend, and we're not sure which books the actor picked up, but he'll certainly be busy reading this winter.

Seeing as he was arrested just six months ago for disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and harassment after a meltdown at a Broadway performance of “Cabaret," he's come quite a long way. Earlier this fall, the former child actor appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and gave a long-winded explanation of what really happened on his now-infamous drunken evening in the Big Apple, and he has since apologized to the police officers he spat on -- and been spotting carrying the Alcoholics Anonymous blue book.

"Man, I went through like an existential crisis," he told Ellen DeGeneres in October. "Which turned into some explorations. I had some hiccups, some judgment errors." Shia added that jail helped scare him straight, and that it was his mom who really helped him see what he needed to do. Maybe Mia should get a little credit?
