Set aside the materialism. Set aside the GI Joe with the Kung Fu Grip. Set aside the new Porsche. Leave the green behind, and pick up a book.

The book is the brain, the life, the risk, and the reward. The tapas bar on the credit card is a good ride on Saturday night, but we emphasize the content in its power, and the meaning in its glory. We think about a 17-year-old reading Kerouac next to a dumpster behind the 7-11, and then growing up to be the assistant manager of that 7-11.

That’s the vibe at Nobody Rocks: better to be the assistant manager of the 7-11 who’s read Kerouac, Dostoevsky, Bukowski, and Plath, than an investment banker who wouldn’t know Melville if he speared him in the ass.

Nobody Rocks is an e-book publisher and digital press. We have relationships with indie outfits across the entertainment industry. We know the deal. We take it seriously. We are the lightning bolt AND the seismograph.
