Snooki, the tangerine skinned, petite, parading pouf head and star of the MTV reality series, The Jersey Shore, has penned her first novel aptly titled, A Shore Thing. You know the saying, you can`t judge a book by its cover. This is the exception to that rule. Oddly enough, the number of books Snooki has read in her lifetime now equals the number of books she has written.
The book tells the story of a girl finding romance on the Boardwalk. Snooki reveals she likes going out and doing the three D’s; dancing, drinking and Duh? Is that dining, dishing the dirt or doing drugs? Or could she just not come up with a “d” word for having sex with anything that isn’t already nailed down? You decide.
My “d” is disappointment. It appears Simon and Schuster may have compromised their principles, taken the plunge and slid head first straight down into that scum drain that leads right into reality television. Why did they do it? Because 8 million people with little or nothing to do tuned into The Jersey Shore. Smut sells and absolute smut sells absolutely. Someone should offer Simon and Schuster their own reality television program. We`ll call it, ``Pimp My Read. ``
I may never accept the way in which the world operates “in reality”. I would like to think no one in their right mind will even bother to buy Snooki`s book. None-the-less, keep in mind there are always alternative uses for any book especially this one. Use it to level that uneven kitchen table or prop up the bed to prevent acid reflex. Put it to good use.
