Author: Buy my book even though I don't read

"Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed... 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."

- Just in time for BEA! It's Kanye West, whose seemingly content-less book THANK YOU AND YOU'RE WELCOME hit stores this spring, being contrarian and illiterate. Is that the best way to honor your late mother, the former English professor?

Clearly the only revenge is to consume as much of West's four albums in print as possible. In fact this morning quite unrelated to this news I actually Googled some Kanye West lyrics, and then I read them.* Take that, O AutoTuner.

*Sometimes I do this just to marvel that it can be done after years of listening to songs over and over to copy down the lyrics. Kids these days with their search engines!
