![Pimp: The Story of My Life by [Slim, Iceberg]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41-Bfndc4SL._SY346_.jpg)
I read this because Dave Chappelle recommended it in his comedy special.
The plot is about a man's rise and fall as a pimp in the 1930s and 1940s. Oddly enough this reminded me of Malcom X's Autobiography. If Malcom X hadn't left the streets this could've been him.
This book is fantastic, Iceburg Slim gives an unflinching, uncensored look at his life, his enviornment, and his actions. I won't spoil the plot further, it'll send you on a roller-coaster of emotions; from sadness to disgust, humor to anger, disbelief at the actions of the justice system, the side characters and Iceburg himself.
It's great, it's sobering, and it's relevant. Read it!
