How to American: An Immigrant's Guide to Disappointing Your Parents
by Jimmy O. Yang
I've never heard of this guy, but I enjoyed his autobiography of his young life (he's only 30 or so now). Raised in Hong Kong, his parents moved the family to L.A. for better colleges and all the good stuff America offers. Jimmy did what his parents wanted and got that economics degree, but then decided to chase the American dream and become a comic. I've never seen his HBO show Silicon Valley, I've never been a fan of stand-up comedy (I don't find about 99% of them funny), I've never seen That Patriot or Crazy Rich Asians. But, hey, I still enjoyed his immigrant story.
He did work as a DJ at a strip club (I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I know someone locally who had this same job).
He narrated his own audiobook really well--I felt like he was standing up on stage the whole time. Disk 2 of my audiobook didn't play in my car, but luckily I had the digital download of the book, too, so I switched to it.
