The other day, I went to the book store and bought two wonderful Victorian novels. "Great Expectations" by the lovely Charles Dickens and "The Picture of Dorian Grey" by the fascinating Oscar Wilde. I decided to start with the Dickens novel because well, I'm going alphabetically and I like to save the best for last (I love Wilde).
I happen to be a great fan, of a man who enjoys Wilde even more than I do. This man, himself is a great Stand-up comedian and has wit as sharp as Mr. Wilde's. This of course is Russell Brand, some of you may have never heard of him which I'd say is rather unlikely and others may despise him for his comments about the jonas brothers. Yet people underestimate Mr. Brand because he wears tight clothes and behaves rather fopish at times, but he is a man of true intellect, eloquence and masculinity (no he is not gay). His brand of comedy can be considered sordid (Brand tells it like it is), but it is peppered with refrences to some of the greatest literary works ever written. Which brings me back to Dickens and Wilde which have covertly made it into my favorite authors list. I can only recommend you read some of their novels, because they are nice to read and to talk about.
