Quote of the Day

And it comes to you via Auto-Tune, which is to say it was spoken by Kanye West.

Are you ready for this? Are you sure? Okay, here ya go...

"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. I am a proud non-reader of books."

This is excerpted from an article describing that Ye has, ironically enough, written a book. Here is a description...

His book is 52 pages -- some blank, others with just a few words -- and offers his optimistic philosophy on life. One two-page section reads, "Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!" Another page reads "I hate the word hate!"


And if all that isn't enough, here's one more atrocity to throw on the pile... To get through 52 mostly blank pages, he needed a co-author.

I officially renounce my coronation of Late Registration as 2005 Album of the Year.
