The Finch in My Brain
'Whenever I see Martino I am reminded of how little I know about life and death compared to him. How we don't know what is within us or what may lie on the other side. I hope it's as magical and beautiful as this book.' --Russell Brand When film producer Martino Sclavi began experiencing intense headaches, he attributed them to his frenetic lifestyle. As it turned out, he had grade 4 brain cancer and was given 18 months to live. After undergoing brain surgery - while awake - Martino found he had lost the ability to recognise words. His response was to close his eyes and begin to move his fingers across the keyboard to write this, an account of life before diagnosis and since. Defying all pre...
My Booky Wook
Russell Brand grew up in Essex. His father left when he was three months old, he was bulimic at 12 and left school at 16 to study at the Italia Conti stage school. There, he began drinking heavily and taking drugs. He regularly visited prostitutes in Soho, began cutting himself, took drugs on stage during his stand-up shows, and even set himself on fire while on crack cocaine. He has been arrested 11 times and fired from 3 different jobs - including from XFM and MTV - and he claims to have slept with over 2,000 women. In 2003 Russell was told that he would be in prison, in a mental hospital or dead within six months unless he went in to rehab. He has now been clean for three years. In 2006 h...
Up Late: Poems
A revelatory collection from a poet praised for “a truth-telling that’s political, existential, and above all, emotional” (Terrance Hayes). The poems in Nick Laird’s fifth volume, Up Late, reflect on the strange and chaotic times we live in. Reeling in the face of collapsing systems, of politics, identity and the banalities and distortions of modern living, the poet confronts age-old anxieties, questions of aloneness, friendship, the push and pull of daily life. At the book’s heart lies the Forward Prize–winning title sequence, a moving and profound meditation on a father’s dying, the reverberations of which echo throughout in poems that interrogate inheritance and legacy, illness and justice, accounts of what is lost and what, if anything, can be retrieved. From “Up Late” You could never let anything go, a trait I also suffer from, and kind of admire, but this is not a possibility. The tick of the clock is meltwater dripping into the fissure.
Recovery
The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller from Russell Brand. 'This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all encompassing and ubiquitous that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it. What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what? My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse. I am an addict, addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, money, love and fame.' The program in Recovery has given Russell Brand freedom from all addictions and it will do the same for you. This system offers nothing less than liberation from self-centredness, a new perspective, freedom from the illusion of suffering for anyone who is willing to take the necessary steps.

Recuperado
Con una hilarante mezcla de honestidad, sentido del humor y compasión, el humorista Russell Brand cuenta su salvaje historia, y comparte algo de lo que ha aprendido durante los quince años que han pasado desde su recuperación. El autor se dirige a los que sufren cualquier tipo de adicción o dependencia. No distingue entre drogas, alcohol, cafeína, azúcar, trabajo, estrés, malas relaciones, pantallas o incluso la fama. Brand afirma que la adicción puede adoptar distintas formas y que para mantenerse limpio, cuerdo y libre, uno tiene que poner mucha atención a su día a día. La pregunta no es por qué eres adicto, sino ¿qué dolor estás intentando tapar con tu adicción?, ¿por qué te dejas atrapar en el curro equivocado, el estilo de vida equivocado o en los brazos de la persona equivocada?
