Recently I picked out two books that I wanted : Blame it on vanity & My sister Tommie.: the real Tammi Terrell. I already have 3 books : Le freak , My Life in three acts and there'll never be. It's hard because i want to know more about both but I can only get one , anybody who enjoys old school or reading?

Vanity's book is practically unreadable. Someone posted links to a couple of chapters a while back and it was awful. Multiple fonts and colors, sometimes on the same page, no discernable structure, dreadful grammar, etc.

I think she was trying to market it as a coffee table book....

Chile you got some shitty taste in books.

"CAMERAS WERE HOVERING ABOUT, HONING IN, INTERROGATING FOR IMPRESSIVE SUBJECT MATERIAL. I, SOMEWHAT CONFUSED - MUCH LIKE THE GREAT FALL OF BABYLON - FROM THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC BOMBASTIC EXPLOSIAN OF QUESTIONS ON MY RIGHT, BUT I RECALL ONLY ONE THAT MATTERED? WHO IS THE LOVELY LADY PRINCE? WAS HE REALLY SPEAKING OF ME? GRABBING TIGHT MY HAND AND YANKING ME TO HIS SIDE HE REPLIED DEFIANTLY, "THIS IS MY WIFE.".........................."

Its more of a fairytale than a biography to me. I'll go with the Tammi Terrell book

You want OLD school?

Go to a Half Price Books and pick any Louis L'Amour book. You'll not spend more than $2.50 and I promise you will be entertained for hours!

LMAO! She has been in the purple rain too long. Weird shyt.

But seriously, how can you NOT buy it.

If you go to the library you can get all the books you want to read for free. Those books sound interesting. I will have to read them when I have time.

Thanks bro...I didn't want people to think I was exaggerating,

"Somewhat confused" are the funniest two words in the whole paragraph,

Oh shit! I must get that book now... its like a reality show in print!

and by "complete editing" you mean throwing the entire manuscript in the trash?

she self-published, so i doubt anyone not in her inner circle looked at it before it was printed.
