Arrow Paris Hilton has a summer reading list like Oprah Winfrey

Press Release:

Now that she is out of jail, PARIS HILTON, the celebrity socialite and actress, is anxious to do things that can have a beneficial influence on people. One of her first actions has been to announce her four-book summer reading list, filled with books old and new, with the hopes that it will help increase literacy.

Paris Hilton stated that, “Oprah Winfrey has had such a positive influence on people by encouraging reading with her various book lists, and recommended books, that I thought I could join in the effort to encourage people to not only read, but read worthwhile books, and so I have chosen four books that I know people will enjoy reading. I love to read and write -
as I told LARRY KING in my recent interview with him, in school I loved being in creative writing classes.”

In announcing her summer reading list, Paris Hilton has chosen books that represent a varied spectrum. First and foremost on her list is the Bible, which is the book that helped her get through her prison experience.

“When I read the Bible, I am always impressed by its timeless wisdom and simple but profound messages.” Next on her reading list is “The Power of Now,” Eckhart Tolle’s bestseller that was first published in 1999. “This is such an important book, because it teaches the reader to be in the moment, to focus your mind on the here and now, and to pay attention.

For so many people, focusing and paying attention is a real problem, and so many people are so easily distracted. This book has helped me immensely with my own attention deficit disorder.” The third book is the recent phenomenon, “The Secret,” by Rhonda Byrne, a book Paris Hilton believes everyone should read. “This book has such an important message: that the mind has incredible power, and that we can use it to create the reality that we want.”

The last book on Paris Hilton’s reading list is a novel that just came out entitled, “The Knuckleball From Hell by Michael Wayne. Paris Hilton says that, “I absolutely loved this book! It is the funniest book I have ever read, and I have read a lot of funny books. Humor and laughter is such an important thing, and a good sense of humor helps keep us sane. This book will brighten your day and help you see the world in a fresh light.”

Holding a stack of blank printer paper up to your face isn't reading, Paris.

^^^Yeah ... there's just too much in there for me to even begin to wrap my brain around.

I may have to go home, have a few glasses of wine ... and try again...

Paris being a book scholar is like Lindsay being mother Theresa.

She reads her Valtrex bottle and the directions on the ointment to stop the inflammation.

I still do not understand how she can say she reads the Bible, and then goes and has sex with some guy/girl who's name she cannot remember, while keeping a straight face.

Would that count as reading or just looking at the pretty pictures?

Yeah there is a Bible for Dummies, but I still don't think that would do much for her...
