#relentless aaron

For those of you that don't know, I'm a fairly voracious reader and so I've decided that every now and again I'm going to post a little ditty about what I'm currently reading. Because the nearest Hastings is an hour away and a little too rich for my blood (unless I'm shopping off the clearance shelves, which is a given for me), I usually buy my books from the Dollar General's $1.25 rack. Yes, I am a cheap bitch.

A lot of these books are hit and miss -- I have a knack for picking out mostly tolerable books that are able to keep me entertained, but every now and again I happen upon a book that seems so absurd that I can't quite turn it away.

I recently acquired this little gem called Rappers 'R In Danger, by a guy named Relentless Aaron. 

Let's check out an excerpt:

"Tell you what...you did a good job cleaning up my house so I'll do you a favor..."

Cleaning up? I was looking for your guns, a cell phone, even a knife!

"You get to blow me," he said. Nadine turned to see B-Money cocking his head back, laughing wildly with his arms spread open wide like a damned swan. 

Mothafucker, I wish I could blow you up!

1: "Damn, why did I swallow him?"

2: "I miss lickin his asshole"

3: "Shit, why didn't I keep my mouth shut. I should've got paid before we broke up! How the fuck did he know before me that it was over?"

4: "Now he's gonna write a book about me and I ain't gonna make a dime!"

5: "I never loved that mothafukka anyway!"

6: "He thinks he's so smart. So WHAT he makes movies. I'll just hafta start from scratch and go suck another producer's dick. I'm DETERMINED to be famous!"

7: "Shit. Now I'm gonna hafta teach the NEW guy how to be the adventure HE was!"

Soi-disant "BEST SELLING AUTHOR. PUBLISHER. VISIONARY." Relentless Aaron, here, is  a guy I discovered through a genuine but ethically sensitive genre fascination with hip-hop literature that I developed when a bunch of books from one of the main publishers came in a lot the outlet bookstore I worked at had wholesaled from the US. I take an ongoing interest in him; he seriously does a lot of shit and his absence of self-deprecation but apparent capacity for self-abnegation can be technically termed  "heaps refreshing".
