the perfect gift for someone you don’t like: a book written by Kanye West

Despite professing to never read books, Mr Ego Kanye West has none the less published his first book: “Thank You And You’re Welcome.”

The book, that’s currently selling on Amazon for $8, offers 52 pages of “Kanye-isms –the creative, humorous, and insightful philosophies and anecdotes used in creating his path to success. It captures the same wit, playful irony, and piercing insight found abundant in his lyrics” according to the sales pitch.

Just in case you wanted more (and you probably don’t), here’s a sample from the book: “When walking down the street, you can walk in one line perfectly without ever falling over. Now take that same city block, make it a foot wider and then put it a hundred stories high. You’re going to be so focused on the fact that you don’t have a banister, that you’re more likely to fall because of it. When you’re so focused on what you don’t have…you won’t have!”

$8 sounds a little expensive. You can buy Kanye West’s book on Amazon here.
