I'm tired of seeing Snooki and other morons on the Books page. Why is Books on HuffPo less intellectual than Arts? Can't you Books editors keep trash on the front page of HuffPo where it belongs? Really! Why can't you raise your game a little? Please?

I think we should lend a hand.

Snook? This is a sentence.
Sentences have words in them.
But to make a REAL sentence, you need nouns, and verbs and adjectives...perhaps some punctuation?

What am I saying?
I'm pretty sure she wouldn't know a dangling participle if it bit her on the butt...

Somewhere, some quiet genius writing the great american novel just died by her own hand.

The actual headline should read "Snooki to slap her name on ghost-written novel". I hope some poor slob is getting paid decent money to churn out that dreck.

It seems me and Mr.Obama are the only two people in America who have no idea who this person is.If truth be told it is no wonder I don't watch television much any more.The few times I turn it on there is nothing but dross on.

I got a name for the Novel:

"How to gain tons of weight and think you look good."

or

"Cows need loving too"

Sorry if I insulted the farm animals......

I heard she had been anorexic, I guess she beat that struggle.

never thought I'd laugh at a joke like that. But I did.

Pity the poor ghost writer who is going to have to try and translate random texts such as this:

u r a hot t can we skrew

.....into a book.

Can I be the ghostwriter? I'm well versed in the native languages of Jersey Shore and Poughkeepsie, NY. I could even present the accents in writing--look out Mark Twain! And I bet the advance alone would pay for both my undergrad and master's degrees, as sad as that is.

She's only read two books in her life? That's two books more than Sarah Palin has probably read.

In the words of the great Dorothy Parker, "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."

I have no idea if DP ever said that, but you made me laugh out loud!!!! F&F

Oh, don't worry..anyone dumb enough to waste their money on it won't be able to read it anyway-most of it will be bleeped out and the rest won't make any sense.

The headline is 100% dishonest. She's not going to write a novel. She probably can't even write a text message. She's going to publish a novel. That is, a novel is going to be written by someone and her name will be slapped onto it.

One more example of the publishing industry digging its own grave.

Oh she can text- I don't know why I read this; I must have been super- bored, but she posted on Twitter while driving. The Governor of New Jersey was not amused.
I need to get out more...

That's true--she can text. And she tweets quite a bit too.

One of the most unattractive human beings I have ever laid eyes on. And a misspelled pamphlet done with crayons I could believe, a blog would be pushing it and a novel is entirely beyond my range of comprehension. Has she even READ a book?
