Kanye West, who is "a proud non-reader," is publishing a book:

His book is 52 pages — some blank, others with just a few words — and offers his optimistic philosophy on life. One two-page section reads, "Life is 5% what happens and 95% how you react!" Another page reads "I hate the word hate!"...He calls his wisdom "Kanye-isms."

"My favorite one is 'Get used to being used,'" he said.

I can't believe I used to like this guy.

"Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed," West said. "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," he said.

West wrote the not-even-52-page-long-book with the help of a ghost writer.
