Trevor Noah is a South African comedian, writer, producer, and television host, born on February 20, 1984, in Johannesburg. His upbringing was complicated by apartheid-era laws that made his parents’ interracial relationship illegal. His mother is Xhosa, and his father is Swiss-German. Growing up in Soweto, he experienced firsthand the complexities of race and identity in South Africa, something that would later shape much of his comedy. He started his entertainment career in South Africa, first appearing on television in 2002. By his early twenties, he was hosting shows on national TV and performing stand-up comedy. His routines often focused on race, culture, and politics, blending sharp observations with personal stories. In 2011, Noah moved to the United States. By 2014, he was a contributor on The Daily Show and took over as host from Jon Stewart in 2015. His style was more laid-back than Stewart’s, mixing global perspectives with humor rooted in his South African background. While some viewers appreciated his international take, others felt the show lost some of its bite. Still, he connected with younger audiences, especially on digital platforms. Noah is also known for Born a Crime, his 2016 memoir about growing up in South Africa, which became a bestseller. Beyond The Daily Show, he’s hosted major events like the Grammy Awards several times and the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2022. After leaving The Daily Show in late 2022, he shifted focus to stand-up tours, podcasts, and other projects. Offstage, Noah speaks several languages, supports Liverpool FC, and runs a foundation aimed at improving youth education in South Africa. Despite the humor in his work, much of his life—like surviving domestic violence in his family—has been marked by serious challenges, which he addresses with honesty and wit.

"Project Hail Mary" is a space adventure story written by Andy Weir, the same guy who wrote "The Martian." It's about a man named Ryland Grace who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he's there. He figures out he's on a mission to save Earth from disaster. The story follows him as he tries to remember his past and complete his mission, which involves a lot of science and problem-solving. Along the way, he meets an alien, and they form an unlikely friendship. The book is full of cool science stuff, suspense, and humor. It's like a mix of a mystery and a space adventure, with a lot of heart. The narration by Ray Porter is superb, with sound effects and excellent voice work.

In his journal, Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck called East of Eden “the first book,” and indeed it has the primordial power and simplicity of myth. Set in the rich farmland of California’s Salinas Valley, this sprawling and often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families—the Trasks and the Hamiltons—whose generations helplessly reenact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel.

A Gentleman in Moscow is a historical fiction novel by Amor Towles. It follows Count Alexander Rostov, a Russian aristocrat who, after the Bolshevik Revolution, is sentenced to house arrest in the grand Hotel Metropol in Moscow. Instead of being imprisoned in a cell, he’s confined to the hotel, which becomes both his cage and his world. The story spans several decades, starting in the 1920s and running through key moments of Soviet history. Most of it unfolds inside the hotel, which is no ordinary place—it's a bustling, self-contained universe. Rostov, who begins the story living in a lavish suite, is forced to move into a tiny attic room. Despite this fall from grace, he navigates his new life with wit and charm, forming friendships with the hotel staff, guests, and unexpected visitors. The book isn’t just about the Count’s personal journey—it’s also about how time changes people and places, how history creeps in even when you’re standing still, and how small acts of kindness and loyalty can shape a lifetime. The setting, the Metropol, is richly described, from fine dining rooms to back corridors. There’s a good bit about food, music, and Russian culture, and plenty of philosophical musings, but it never gets too heavy. At its core, the novel is about making the best of what life throws at you. The Count is an old-world gentleman stuck in a new world that wants to forget people like him. How he handles that—sometimes with grace, sometimes with stubbornness—is what makes the book compelling. It's quietly dramatic, occasionally funny, and surprisingly heartwarming, all without needing big action scenes.

She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 —“Q is for ‘question mark.’ A world that bears a question.” Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled. As Aomame’s and Tengo’s narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector.

In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat—and then for his wife as well—in a netherworld beneath the city’s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is one of Haruki Murakami’s most acclaimed and beloved novels.

The legendary George Carlin. Enough said.

This is the only audiobook I've ever listened to lol. But it is a very interesting story about Elon, arguably the most interesting person alive.

Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood is Trevor Noah’s autobiography, published in 2016. It tells the story of his early years growing up in South Africa during and after apartheid. The title comes from the fact that his birth—he had a black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss-German father—was literally considered a crime under apartheid laws that banned interracial relationships at the time. The book is a mix of humor and tough truths. Much of it focuses on Trevor’s relationship with his mother, Patricia, who plays a huge role in his life. She’s portrayed as tough, religious, and fiercely independent—someone who dragged him to multiple church services every week, even during times of violence and unrest. Her strong influence shapes his character, often through strict discipline and sharp lessons about right and wrong. Trevor shares stories from his childhood that range from funny to intense. There’s a scene where his mother throws him out of a moving minibus to save him from a potentially dangerous driver. He also talks about using his talent for languages to navigate different cultural groups in South Africa, and how he hustled by selling bootleg CDs to make money. But not all his stories are light—he describes living with his abusive stepfather, Abel, whose violence culminated in him shooting Trevor’s mother, though she miraculously survived. Despite the heavy topics—racism, poverty, domestic abuse—Noah’s storytelling is funny, honest, and full of warmth. The book gives a personal look at how apartheid shaped everyday life but also highlights the resilience of his family, especially his mother. The memoir was widely praised, becoming a bestseller and earning spots on numerous “best of the year” lists. It struck a chord with readers around the world, and even inspired figures like U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth and First Lady Jill Biden, who assigned it as reading for her English class. A film adaptation is in the works, with Lupita Nyong’o set to play Trevor’s mother and co-produce the project.

Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life is William Finnegan’s story about growing up obsessed with surfing. It’s not just about catching waves—it’s about a whole way of life that’s demanding, addictive, and sometimes dangerous. Finnegan started young, learning to surf in California and Hawaii, and kept chasing waves into adulthood, traveling through places like Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, and Africa. Along the way, he mixes adventure with self-reflection, talking about friendships formed in the water, the culture around surfing, and how it all fit with the times—especially during the social changes of the 1960s and '70s. The book isn’t just about the thrill of surfing; Finnegan dives into the technical side of waves and the patience it takes to master them. He’s honest about his youthful recklessness—like taking LSD before surfing a massive wave in Maui—and the risks that came with his travels, from malaria scares to navigating shady markets. Still, surfing pulls him along, even when he’s juggling a career as a war reporter and later, family life. At its core, Barbarian Days is an old-fashioned adventure tale mixed with a thoughtful look at what it means to be hooked on something so completely. Finnegan’s writing captures both the beauty and the grind of surfing, making you feel like you’re right there with him—whether on a remote beach or paddling out into icy waves off Long Island.

Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972, is an American rapper, songwriter, and producer. He grew up in Detroit, Michigan, bouncing between homes with his mother, Debbie Nelson, after his father abandoned the family when Eminem was a baby. His early life was rough—poverty, bullying, and moving from place to place. Music became his outlet. At first, he wanted to be a comic book artist, but hip-hop pulled him in. He started rapping as a teenager, performing in local clubs and freestyle battles in Detroit. Back then, he adopted the name "MC Double M" before eventually settling on "Eminem" (from his initials "M&M"). His early work, like the 1996 album Infinite, went largely unnoticed, and he struggled to support his young daughter, Hailie Jade. But things changed with his 1997 Slim Shady EP, where he introduced his alter ego, Slim Shady—a character through which he expressed anger, humor, and dark storytelling. In 1999, Dr. Dre of N.W.A fame signed Eminem to Aftermath Entertainment. That same year, The Slim Shady LP dropped and took off, known for its raw lyrics and twisted humor. Eminem's follow-up albums, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002), catapulted him to global fame. His songs often blended personal struggles with sharp, satirical jabs at celebrities and politicians. Tracks like "Stan," "The Real Slim Shady," and "Without Me" became staples of early-2000s music. Eminem's fame wasn’t without controversy. Critics called out his lyrics for being offensive, but others praised his lyrical skill and raw honesty. He often rapped about his turbulent relationship with his ex-wife, Kim Scott, his love for his daughter, and his battles with addiction. Despite backlash, he won multiple Grammys and even nabbed an Oscar for "Lose Yourself," the theme from 8 Mile—a semi-autobiographical film where he played an aspiring rapper struggling to break through in Detroit. After Encore (2004), Eminem stepped back from music, dealing with addiction and the death of his close friend and fellow rapper, Proof. He returned in 2009 with Relapse, followed by Recovery (2010), which reflected on his journey toward sobriety. Albums like The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013), Revival (2017), Kamikaze (2018), and Music to Be Murdered By (2020) showcased his evolving style, balancing introspection with the rapid-fire wordplay he's known for. Eminem’s influence is hard to overstate. He broke racial barriers in a genre dominated by Black artists and opened doors for future white rappers, all while remaining respected in the hip-hop community for his technical skill. He’s had his fair share of feuds with other artists—Ja Rule, Machine Gun Kelly, and Benzino, to name a few—but he’s also mentored acts like 50 Cent and worked closely with Dr. Dre. Beyond music, Eminem’s ventured into acting (8 Mile), launched his own label (Shady Records), and opened a restaurant called Mom’s Spaghetti in Detroit—named after a lyric from "Lose Yourself." Though he’s had a rocky personal life, including struggles with addiction and family drama, he’s been sober since 2008 and continues to release music that reflects both his personal growth and unfiltered attitude. In 2022, Eminem was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, marking over two decades of impact on music and culture. Even now, well into his fifties, he keeps releasing chart-topping albums and singles, proving he’s still got it. For many, Eminem’s music is a blend of humor, pain, and razor-sharp lyricism—a reflection of a man who’s faced his demons and isn’t afraid to talk about them.

She started out in a group called Destiny's Child, which was super popular back in the late '90s and early 2000s. They had big some hits, like "Say My Name" and "Survivor." But Beyoncé didn't stop there. She went solo and totally nailed it. Beyoncé's music is a mix of R&B, pop, hip hop, and more, and she's known for putting on incredible live shows. Some of her big songs you might know are "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," "Crazy in Love," and "Halo." On top of her music, she acts in movies, runs her own business, and does a lot of charity work. She's also married to Jay-Z, another big name in music, and they're kind of like the king and queen of the music industry.

Adele is an English singer and songwriter from London, born on May 5, 1988. She’s known for her powerful voice and emotional songs, often about love and heartbreak. She started singing as a child and graduated from the BRIT School for Performing Arts in 2006. Soon after, she signed with XL Recordings and released her debut album, 19, in 2008. It included hits like “Chasing Pavements” and “Make You Feel My Love,” earning her the Grammy for Best New Artist. Her second album, 21 (2011), was a massive success worldwide, featuring tracks like “Rolling in the Deep,” “Someone Like You,” and “Set Fire to the Rain.” Inspired by a breakup, it struck a chord with listeners and became the best-selling album of the 21st century. Her third album, 25 (2015), carried on her tradition of naming albums after her age and included the hit “Hello.” Her most recent album, 30 (2021), reflects on her divorce and personal growth. Adele has a soulful, smoky voice and often sings ballads, blending pop, soul, and blues. She’s won numerous awards, including 16 Grammys, an Oscar for her James Bond theme “Skyfall,” and a Golden Globe. Despite her global fame, she’s known for being down-to-earth and humorous. She was married to Simon Konecki, with whom she has a son, but they divorced in 2021. Adele is currently engaged to sports agent Rich Paul. Over the years, she’s taken breaks between albums to focus on her personal life. She recently announced plans to step away from music for a while after finishing her concert residency in Las Vegas.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is a memoir by Haruki Murakami where he talks about two things that define a big part of his life: running and writing. Murakami didn’t always plan on being a novelist. He was running a jazz bar in his twenties when, while watching a baseball game, he suddenly thought, “I could write a novel.” He gave it a shot, it worked out, and he eventually sold his bar to focus on writing full-time. But sitting at a desk all day, smoking and not moving much, wasn’t doing his health any good. That’s when he picked up running. For Murakami, running is more than just exercise—it’s part of his routine and, in a way, a metaphor for writing. Both take endurance. Both are long hauls where you push yourself day after day, even when you don’t feel like it. The book follows him as he trains for marathons, competes in triathlons, and grapples with the slow decline of his physical abilities as he ages. He talks a lot about acceptance—accepting getting older, accepting bad race times, and accepting that sometimes you just don’t do as well as you hoped. His attitude is basically: That’s life. You move on. The writing style is straightforward, like he’s just talking to you over a coffee. He doesn’t dress things up. Sometimes he rambles, mentioning things like cycling habits or going off on tangents about global warming. At one point, he describes running the original marathon route in Greece—sun blazing, salt stinging his eyes, everything uncomfortable. But through it all, there’s this calm acceptance. He’s not trying to convince anyone to run; he just shares what it means to him. By the end, what sticks isn’t just the running or the writing, but the way he embraces both the highs and the lows—the post-race blues, the joy of finishing, and the satisfaction of something as simple as a cold beer after a long run. It’s a book about effort, routine, and learning to keep going, no matter what.

Skin in the Game may be nice but The Black Swan is the OG Nicholas Taleb. Read this book to learn how to think and avoid biases and reread at least once very couple of years.
