June 4th, 2008. West Hollywood, CA. Kanye West can read?? Maybe it was all an act to impress a new mystery girl, but Kanye was spotted shopping at the Barnes and Noble book store at the Grove shopping mall. He doesn’t really seem very interested in all the books and knowledge that surround him in the store, instead, he just fiddles with his phone.

Even if good ol’ Kanye doesn’t want to read anything, the children’s books always have illustrations! Or he could go to the science section and look at all the space and satellite pictures. Those would really make him have some thoughts in that big head of his!
