Buy five different bourbons, each from a different distiller. Taste them separately, one each night, and write about how they look, smell, and taste. Pay particular attention to the finish (that's the lingering aftertaste left in your mouth and sinuses). Think also about what they remind you of--memories of experiences, films, books, music, etc. After you've spent some time with each, on the sixth night, pour a small amount of each into separate glasses. Get another glass with water in it. Taste each, one after the other, and compare (drink the water in between to cleanse your palate). This will not only give you a beginner's education in bourbon tasting, but it will also teach you what you like when it comes to distilled spirits.
Please understand, I'm not encouraging you to get drunk. That defeats the purpose. Be responsible with them. Some say wine enriches your life. I agree. But whiskey makes you feel better about yourself.
If for any reason you do not drink spirits, then read Let the Great World Spin, by Colum McCann.

May I ask which five you would recommend?

Don't spend too much money. I've tailored the list below to keep the quality high and the price low-ish. Try the following:
Evan Williams White Label if you can get it. If not, the Evan Williams Single Barrel is great. Your fall back offering is Elijah Craig
Eagle Rare. If you can't get it, then try Buffalo Trace.
Knob Creek is my favorite of Beam's affordable offerings. This is the most expensive on this list. Their best is pricey. Stay away from Jim Beam White Label.
For 4 & 5, I think you should try a rye and a wheater, so instead of different distilleries, I'll recommend my favorite distillery, Heaven Hill:
Rittenhouse (Rye)
Bernheim Original (Wheat)
Enjoy the ride, my friend.
Edit: I think my numbering got messed up.

Read "Anatomy of the State" by Murray Rothbard. The best part about it: after you're done, you'll still have 6 days and 23 hours to do other enriching things.

Code Academy for some quick Java script.
And longboarding if you have available funds or can borrow one.
