My Booky Wook

I finally found time to read this past weekend and began my venture into the mind of comedian Russell Brand in his bio "My Booky Wook." Silly title, reallllyyy good book so far! I marked some pages that contained segments that I particulary enjoyed. I love his way with words.

"We all have an essential self, but if you spend every day chopping up meat on a slab, and selling it by the pound, soon you'll find you've become a butcher. And if you don't want to be a butcher (and why would you?), you're going to have to cut right through to the bare bones of your own character in the hope of finding out who you really are. Which bloody hurts."

"For me happiness occurs arbitrarily: a moment of eye contact on a bus, where all at once you fall in love; or a frozen second in a park where it's enough that there are trees in the world."

I was a connoisseur of the Penguin[chocolate bars], which came in yellow, green, blue and red wrappers. I was a particular devotee of the blue variety, even though all Penguins are the same below the surface, which I think is a perfect analogy as we're likely to get for the futility of racism."

Those are the parts that most popped out to me so far. Doubt I'll have any time to read it again for awhile due to school projects/tests.
