Born a Crime: Stories from a South African childhood by Trevor Noah 288 pages
If you think Trevor Noah is smart and funny already, just wait. This was such a great book, especially since I listened to it read by Trevor himself. More than anything, it is a tribute to his mother, but the stories from his childhood in South Africa are compelling, funny and thought provoking. This book never delves into current politics, or even talks about how Trevor got his career started in America. This is strictly about his experience growing up under apartheid and its fall. It's no wonder he is the intelligent, and thoughtful man he is, with his mother being the woman that she was. I highly recommend this to everyone, I enjoyed it so much!
