Snooki: Published Author

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is adding "published author" to her resume (way to go, Simon & Schuster). The publishing house announced yesterday that they will put out the Jersey Shore star's novel—which, as the Daily News points out, is not a memoir despite being about "a girl looking for love on the boardwalk (one full of big hair, dark tans and fights galore)."

As for what the reality starlet likes to read herself, she once told the NY Times that the only two books she's read were Twilight and Dear John (suspect answers... we'd bet she only watched the movies). However, as you can see, it looks like she recently picked up a new book for her visits to the playground.

An S&S editor asked, "Who better than Snooki to write a fun, sexy novel about a single girl looking for love on the Jersey Shore?" We're guessing Snooki's ghostwriter, probably. The novel is called A Shore Thing and will be hitting bookshelves on New Year's Day, but you can get a taste of her (more short-form) writing style here.

I want it to be called "Extremely Drunk and Incredibly Orange."

hey, i had a psycho english professor who used to scold us in every class for not reading enough books besides her assignment, which was already 100 pages per lecture: "you people have the audacity to even want to be "writers"? are you really not kidding yourselves?"

WELL FUCKER, SOMETIMES YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO READ A SINGLE BOOK.

I'm sure she probably read Dr. Seuss as a child.

Also, no one needs to be able to read or write to have a ghost writer do it for them.

I happen to work for a large NY publishing company that already has a book in the works about The Situation. Thank God we beat Snooki to the print front. Jeez, why am I boasting about that?

I'm sure most of her fans will wait for the movie version.

But who knows maybe she can inspire a few people to read, that would be a good thing.

In a world where Nicole Richie and Lauren Conrad have written multiple best-selling novels each, I don't know why anyone can be surprised that this latest reality-TV star can get a book deal to write a novel.
