Are You Interested in Reading Russell Brand's Book?
After introducing himself to American audiences playing a smug British rock star in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Russell Brand went on to host the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Still, he's not quite yet a household name on this side of the pond.

What's Buzzworthy: Must-Read Memoirs

Personal memoirs are all the rage in publishing these days, for better or for worse.

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell: An Unfunny Waste of Time
You're supposed to think that the jokes in I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell are so shocking, so offensive, that you laugh because you forget being PC for a moment. And if you don't laugh, you're the kind of square that Tucker Max, the lead character, takes aim at.
