When asked why he doesn’t read, Kanye West stated that “sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed.” Am I the only one who is worried that a person who is unable to construct a simple sentence has been allowed to write and publish a book? Also, he seems to be confusing the novel with it’s distant cousin, the autobiography.
His book of ‘Kanye-isms’ is a collection of ‘thoughts and theories’ including the enlightening motto “[l]ife is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!” I find it surprising that he can be so vocal about his anti-intellectualism despite the pride and respect he voices for his mother, particularly in his song ‘Hey Mama’ (in which sings ‘I promise you I’m goin’ back to school’), considering she was university English professor before giving it all up to manage his music career.
You can buy his book, entitled “Thank You and You’re Welcome” from Amazon. Just quietly, I wouldn’t recommend it.
KANYE: I don’t read books, but I do write them.
