You Can't Touch My Hair

This book is legit hilarious, literal-LOL worthy. (As you could probably guess if you're familiar with Phoebe Robinson's comedy–although I am too often disappointed by comedians' books. Not here!)

It's a great mix of personal stories, essays about working in comedy, black American culture...all very funny and also very timely. I read this just before the election and I'm curious to what it would be like to read it afterwards. There's a letter in this from John Hodgman where he refers to the election and says that when you're reading this, perhaps Trump is the president or “superking”...it was so funny in early November 2016...so funny.

PS A certain brand of crotchety reader might frown disapprovingly at the chat speak and hashtags littered throughout this book, but whatever, it's not for you.
