Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

I've been a casual fan of Trevor Noah for a while, and he's always seemed a little more thoughtful than some of the other late night hosts (his answer to an audience question about racial reparations is the best short answer I've seen on the topic, and he shows his depth on Israel-Palestine as well.) This book shows his abundant empathy for people in difficult situations, as well as being heartfelt and quite funny in places. I learned a lot about apartheid, and he spends a lot of time exploring the very human situations that result from racially biased systems and poverty. You'll laugh a lot, learn a lot, and have a newfound respect for him. Highly recommended.
