Frances Bean Cobain Wants to Discuss Books With You

Or, rather, you can feel free to discuss them with her: https://twitter.com/alka_seltzer666/status/464574287769522176 Frances Bean Cobain turned out to be quite a bookworm, and I’m not surprised; according to this Flavorwire article, one of her dad’s most prized possessions was a signed first edition of Naked Lunch. Frances clearly inherited the reading bug, along with some of her dad’s tastes in books, it seems–her reading selections often include writers like Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs. Here’s some bookish goodness you can look forward to if you follow Ms. Cobain on Twitter: https://twitter.com/alka_seltzer666/status/468372378183929857 https://twitter.com/alka_seltzer666/status/479885553727332352 https://twitter.com/alka_seltzer666/status/439098529911279616 https://twitter.com/alka_seltzer666/status/412509766234034176 https://twitter.com/alka_seltzer666/status/422547516945469441 https://twitter.com/alka_seltzer666/status/471237120065957888 To go with your reading goodness, Frances Bean Cobain also often posts about art (Hieronymus Bosch is a favorite), comics, and music (Noel Gallagher changed how she listened to music). She’s a super-cool chick and she will enrich your Twitter feed. I always love finding out that celebrities that are famous for non-book things are readers. (It doesn’t surprise me that they do read or anything, I just love it because reading is the best, amirite?) Which famous readers do you follow?
