Yeah, and what's funny is that he still lives by this, even after writing a book himself.

"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."

First of all, I've never wanted a book autograph either; I'm not sure how you would even go about getting that. Second of all, how is that something to be proud of? It's like saying "I'm a proud watcher of Jerry Springer marathons." And last of all, how can you slam book reading and promote your own book all at the same time?

It's really a shame, cause I used to like West. Before he became this guy, he made cool beats and I liked his style.
