Join or Die: Get Inked with Craig Ferguson
Book of the Month teams up with the TV host, offering good reads and patriotic tattoos.
Craig Ferguson reads books himself. He doesn’t let his assistant do that for him. That’s what he told Book of the Month in an exclusive interview, and it’s the reason he’s serving as the Club’s March Guest Judge. Ferguson, the host of History Channel’s Join or Die and former host of CBS’ Late Late Show has selected Laila Lalami’s novel The Moor’s Account to share with Book of the Month members.
Ferguson said of the book, “It’s a fictional account, or an imagined account, of the first black explorer of what eventually became the United States. It covers the morality of slavery, it covers the morality of colonialism, exploration, a clash of cultures, and it’s a good old rollicking adventure story as well.”
As a lover of history and America, Craig has this awesome patriotic tattoo on his forearm:
