Ok, just to prove that not every book I read is technical, here’s one about Sentences: The Life of MF Grimm by MF Grimm.
This book is a graphic novel (ie. a very long comic book) that’s an autobiography of a rapper named MF Grimm who grew up in the inner city, appeared on Sesame Street as a kid, and eventually ended up partially paralyzed and in jail from gun and drug dealing.
Unlike most of what you read about rap stars and growing up in the inner city, this story neither glorifies nor condemns anything about the life. It’s simply a matter-of-fact, first person description that leaves a pampered, yuppie whitey like me a little more aware of a culture that doesn’t resemble mine. As you might expect from a book of its format, it’s an easy read and well worth the small investment.
