Read a book? Huh?
As some of you can see I'm a big book head, shit I work at a library(and no I'm not a librarian), I read at least 1 if not 2 books a month, I'm a poet and writer myself, and I enjoy reading (no matter how fuckin cheesy that sounds get over it suckas), so I though I would bring my enjoyment and love for the written word to all you mofos out there that either enjoy read ya self or dont pay attention to much to books and shrug it of as a old school "pastime". I know about half you muthafuckas only read XXL, Complex, Scratch(RIP), The Sauce, Import Tuner, Super Street, Lowrider, Plumpers, and BlackTails, but I figured hey why dont we go beyond the realm of magazines...you read the articles in Playboy...bullshit. So I'm gonna run off a few books that in the past year or two I have read, and also some of my favorite books over the years. You go to any B&N and pick up these books (plus maybe a double latte, half creme, half milk, with a shot of mocha, with a splash of chocolate fudge...*lowers head* sorry.), or to barnesandnobles.com or amazon.com
Dust ya 2nd grade cardboard bookmarks off, cause here we go...

Dean Koonce is my favorite writer.. Check out some of his work
msst def facta...dude is pretty good.
Some good books here, Josh. It's Beckdoobious and I'm just stopping by. Dude, anybody who thinks reading is weak...is sadly misinformed. The people that run the world are the ones that hit the books.
Everybody else is ignorant.
That's not an overstatement, it's true. I think you're badass and glad to see you might be President someday =) (reading all of these books and all).
