Kanye West, ostensibly promoting his recent book Thank You and You're Welcome, spoke the following words to a reporter today: "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. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life."
