#5 PATTI SMITH

It's really funny, you know, when i was a kid, my parents had asked me what i want to be when i grow up, and my mom often reminds me that my favourite answer was : "I want to be a journalist or a writer. And my name will be Nicko Smith!" Hahaa
That still makes sense, by the way! May be there's a Hot single Mr Smith reading me right now? )))) No, I am just kidding. I can call myself Nicko Smith without being marry to one, right? And i worked as a  journalist for good 4 years. And i had actually written hundred pages of fiction which i would then have called a book. Yeah, unpublished. 
Three years ago, suffering from a page-turning point of my life, i was asking myself, what do i want to be? Because, you know, i have already grown up. Since then i've been looking for teachers and co-thinkers, for inspiration, for technics and styles, for gurus and icons. I still don't know the right answer, but since then i have learned a lot.
Now, meet my killer of the day, Patti Smith and her awesome novel "JUST KIDS". From the very beginning, Patti doesn't know what to do with her life, but she vowed that she would make something of herself. It's kind of novel I have been waiting for ages, the book, that mirrors my state of mind and feelings , and it's kind of, you know, about me...

"Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame."
