I would add that any book list that includes a Russell Brand product is bound to be a controversial list - and not in the intellectual sense. I am not quite sure what is he famous for, but I've seen him on TV more than I wanted to and he doesn't seem like a guy you want to take advice from.

I thought the same until he came and did a comic show/talk about addiction (for a local charity). He is incredibly bright, very interesting to listen to, a great story teller, far from full of himself, and yeah.. he's a great comedian (him being typecast as a drunk/high idiot in mainstream movies didn't do him justice.. he's been sober 17 years)
show/talk about addiction (for a local charity).
He is a British comedian and was in a few movies.
His book is about drug addiction and he is a former addict. Seems like the right sort of person to write the book.
