The only self-help book I need is anything on the New York Best Seller List category because if the book is read by a city that has eight million people, it must be right. Currently it's The Intellectual Devotional which only seems to lead to more questions but I can agree on the Socratic paradox of “ I know that I know nothing” which seems to be the only thing that I can’t argue with at this moment. The Intellectual Devotional also seems to give me an existential crisis. If only we could get all the existential thinkers into the same room and just have them talk it out. I wonder if Republicans read self help books or are they still not wanting to be told what to do. 

I see a lot of books on the New York Best Seller List  and I am beginning to think that it's not that hard to become a New York Best Seller. For example, look at Beanie Babies; Best sellers for a few years and now, completely worthless. So what the hell is the New York Best Seller list really selling? A list of completely worthless ideals that no one will care about in two years. Perhaps it should be called The New York Best Seller of Worthless Ideas.

I look at all the books at the bookstore and I often think as to why I couldn’t be one of these authors. I would even settle for a used bookstore author where the cat lays out on the book for its afternoon nap. I spent the pandemic working at Amazon and they had a section where they sold small things that were usually composed of Vitamin bottles and small books. Everytime i picked up either of these items I always asked myself a series of questions; What does this actually do for you; Who is buying this; Who is publishing this work; Why can’t I get published.These were bizarre books that were in one warehouse, in one section, being sold during a pandemic. And none of them were on the New York Best Seller List. So I guess, fuck me then. Perhaps then I should be trying to achieve the Amazon Warehouse Inventory List. Yes, as a writer I want to achieve being at the Amazon Warehouse Section, next to the Lilac Vitamin.
