It's that time of the year where the holiday spirit dies down and people flock to the malls to trade in the gifts that you told Aunt Lucy they liked. Even if you couldn't figure out if it was a shirt or a dress, or a blanket.

Since it's not the holidays anymore I don't have to be nice: I felt like it would be appropriate to bash this book.

Selfish by Kim K.

It hurts my soul to call this a book. I would certainly not consider this photography. That requires skill. I refuse to use the proper formatting on this title because I cannot even consider this having any type of affiliation with collections from National Geographic or real artists like Mark Twain and Earnest Hemingway.

Truthfully, I would rather replace all my toilet paper with cacti than buy this.

What the hell am I getting out of this? An education? An adventure story? A lovely image of a landscape or a person? Anything that could further the world in a positive manner?

No. I'm getting the same woman taking pictures of her chest and rear end.

It's like she thinks she's a medical anomaly.

Newsflash. Every woman has a chest and every person has a butt.

And it hurts my head to figure out who bought this crap?

This is appropriately titled. As pretentious and self-absorbed as she is, that is not the reason I believe this collection is selfish.

It's selfish because she wasted 352 pieces of paper per each of the original 500 books in order to post pictures of herself. And that is just statistics from the day it was first released, over a year ago.

176,000 pieces of paper adding up to a little over 21 trees.

It's selfish because the distribution of this book burned fossil fuels in transportation and publication. Selfish was published by RCS Media group based in Milan, Italy.

Apparently, the Kardashians are big philanthropists. I personally did not take the time to look this up because I do not believe it disregards the selfishness of the book.

I believe that there is some good in everyone. That's just me. But this, was selfish.
