James Patterson...!!!

Working at a bookstore
will help you appreciate
a great many things
you never thought of
before, but one of them
has got to be all those
shitty writers people
read and populate bookshelves,
um, for no real reason
except that's what's
easy to do when you
want to pretend you're
literate but still shudder
from the memories of
those teachers forcing
you through three hundred
or so pages in a few weeks
when you had other things
you had to read and try
to replicate, not just...
what was the goal?
intepret or whatver,
listen to what they had
to say and pretend you got
that or at least that you
didn't have something else
you might have thought.
It was easier to just
pretend you read it, because
they were going to tell
you anyway, right? And then
expect you to know the
boring details for tests.

No wonder you now
read Patterson!
