Doug 30 - Nobody reads autobiography beer books

as reply to Let me Read!

"Who even reads
books
  these days?"

"Nobody."

"So why are you writing one."

"Plenty of people still write books."

"So let me get this straight. You're telling me nobody reads. But people still write?"

Jack's autobiographer nodded.

"Also what's this mess with Jackoff calling you his autobiographer? Doesn't he know what an 
autobiography
even means?"

"I don't think he does. Otherwise he wouldn't call me that?"

"He sounds as dumb as he looks."

"Mm."

"So what's he really like?"

"He's..."

"What? Spit it out, man. Come on!"

"He's muted."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"He doesn't talk much. It's all kind of a show for the camera."

"Really?"

"Yeah. So actually maybe he does know what an autobiography is. It's his girlfriend who found me and hired me."

"So you're insinuating that she's the dumb one."

The writer raised his hands in order to imply that his friend hit the nail on the head. Without saying it.

"So back to this thing about nobody reading. But people writing. Why would people still be writing books... if nobody's reading the god damn things?"

"Writers need to eat. So they read each other. But nobody who doesn't write reads. Oh, except for retired people."

"Retired people?"

"Yeah. People with time on their hands."

"Shit I could use some of those!" Tony said as he raised a glass of 
beer
into the air. The writer clinked the glass.

"Hey, Chrissy. Here's to your new project. May it bring you joy and happiness. And the rest of us pride."

"Thanks, Ton."
