American on Purpose Audiobook (Free)

“With American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson in some way manages in order to avoid the pitfalls of self-indulgence and self-importance that plague most (okay, all) Hollywood autobiographies. He provides, instead, written a book that is hilarious and irrepressibly daft, yet also kind, poignant, and undeniably smart. It had been a joy to read.” – Dennis Lehane, NY Times Bestselling author of The Given Time

Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly crazy memoir of living the American wish seeing that he journeys from about American deliberately the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the comedic promised land of Hollywood. Along the way he stumbles through several attempts to create his mark-as a punk rock musician, a building worker, a bouncer, and, tragically, a modern dancer.

To numb the discomfort of failure, Ferguson found comfort in alcohol and drugs, addictions that eventually resulted in an aborted suicide attempt. (He forgot to do it when somebody offered him a glass of sherry.) But his story has a content ending: success around the strike sitcom The Drew Carey Display, and later as the web host of CBS’s Past due Late Show. Definitely Ferguson’s most significant triumph was his decision to become U.S. citizen, a milestone he attained in early 2008.

In American deliberately, Craig Ferguson talks a reddish colored, white, and blue streak about everything our Founding Fathers feared.
