Justin Bieber will write a book about the long journey of his life. Chapter two: teething.

This is not uncommon. Teen idols often pen their life stories to slake the bottomless thirst of their fans. David Cassidy's landmark work "My Life" included a chapter on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which is still cited in scholarly works today, and Frank Sinatra's "My Story" was noted at the time for positing a cosmological model that anticipated later theories on dark matter and particle physics. Biebers will be no different, except it will come with a free lollipop in the shape of his head.
