Me No Know How Read

Duh, me so stupid. Me symbol of failing test scores in America. Me too dumb to grow body hair. If you no want to be dumb like me, you read. Me going to listen Britney Spears now.

If you don't want to end up like this young model from ToxicBoy, you should develop a rich reading life. Here are a few pictures of the books I've read so far this year, covering up the naughty parts of a few young good men.

(Original photograph removed by request of the photographer. I meant no disrespect towards the artist/model, I was only trying to be funny. The artist is obviously a smart and talented individual and I apologize for any discomfort I may have caused him.)


Iris Murdoch--The Black Prince


Ha Jin--Waiting and Larry Doyle--I Love You, Beth Cooper


Bret Easton Ellis--Lunar Park


Salman Rushdie--Satanic Verses (reread)


Mary McCarthy--The Group
Here lies a most ridiculous raw youth, indulging himself in the literary graces that he once vowed to eschew. Now he just rocks out.
