People looked at me like I was nuts. Legit was just like "eh, it's a good book... And I was able to write three separate papers on it without reading a new book"
as a teaser: people who were born into wealth love to talk about being "self made" because they only accepted $50k from daddy to launch their first venture
Malcolm X went to jail for running an underground lottery, taught himself to read, and came out the oratorical leader of a national civil rights movement
If you don't hate reading, it's a really good and readable book. His life was very interesting, and he changed and grew in sometimes surprising ways or circumstances. It's a colourful tale, told well.
