No Kanye, thank YOU.

Today, I learned some interesting information about Kanye West. He says:

"Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed ... I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph.
And:
"I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life,"

Good deal, man, good deal. Books are so stuck up...won't even take the time to sign an autograph. Of course, neither do CD's and he doesn't seem to have a problem not getting an autograph from one of them.
In his defense though, many, MANY great philosopher's have agreed with him that literacy is not at all important. Unfortunately, we don't know who they are, or what they had to say, because they couldn't write their ideas down...
No no, but seriously. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And obviously, Kanye feels very strongly about this particular opinion. So strongly, in fact, that he decided to show it by, yes, writing a book. It's titled "Kanye West Presents: Thank You And You're Welcome" and it is 52 pages, filled with all the wisdom that Kanye has gained over the years, wisdom that he dubs "Kanye-isms". Insightful.
But he couldn't have done all 52 pages alone...oh no, he had a coauthor, which makes sense. One sentence a page, 52 pages... that's a lot of work to do all on your own.
Apparently, this book has been out for ages, and I wish, truly and sincerly, that I had heard of it earlier. I feel so left out of the pop culture loop.
It's okay though, because for all of us who missed the first one, there's going to be another book, following in the radical success of the first. It will be titled "Glow in the Dark"....maybe another informative tome about his days in the biz', posing as a lightbulb? Who knows? And really, who the hell cares?
