Dear Simon and Schuster: please allow humanity to pass the hat and collect $115,000 for your troubles. We do so merely out of appreciation for the fact that these two books will never be written or published.

Nobody ever offers me money to not write a book. Once again, I guess I'm in the wrong profession.

How is Lil' Kim going to write a book when she has trouble reading?

Do business with "gangstas" and get robbed. Surprised?

Have you ever tried to write a book? If it was easy everyone would do it. It takes years of introspection and organization. When your friends are out partying at 2 AM, you're sitting in front of your computer drinking Red Bull, looking up synonyms. Does this sound like a typical day in Lil KIm's world?

Let 'em keep the money as encouragement to NOT write (i.e. dictate to a ghost writer) about themselves. Or put out more "music," for that matter.

while 50 cent maybe gansta, he has the right advisors on his side: i.e. his vitamin water investment is a great example. when VW went public he cashed in on $400,000,000.

Even if they come through with the books, it is highly unlikely that either "author" will be enshrined in the Western literary canon in the manner of, for example, Tolstoy, Emerson, Flaubert or Joyce.
