Reddit reviews American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot

Awesome. I own a copy of Craig's autobiography. A pretty good read about a very rock'n'roll life and his struggles with alcohol and drug abuse.

American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot

If you haven't already, I recommend reading/listening to Craig's memoir American On Purpose. He's really such an intelligent man.

Some of my favorite late night appearances have been on his show. Two of them being Stephen Fry's appearances with an audience and without.
Craig's show was rarely about the promotion of someone's project, and much more about making a real connection. I miss that in late night television.

Thanks for the reply friend.

I did read his book a couple years ago. It was surprisingly good (surprising meaning I get so tired of the same ol' same ol' cookie cutter celebrity addiction stories). He is really an amazing guy and it was an amazing read.

Amazon link to the book if anyone is interested.

Tom Hardy is another celebrity addict that I admire for the way he approaches his addiction. He doesn't let it define himself as a person but realizes the power it has and the need to remain ever vigilant.

Unlike Sir Anthony, Craig calls himself an American and actually wrote a book about this subject.

Buying a book is not about obtaining a possession, but about securing a protal. How true that sentence is!

Thanks so much for the contest!

I liked Ninety Days: A memoir: http://www.amazon.com/Ninety-Days-A-Memoir-Recovery/dp/B00D9TPDHE

I'm not a drug user, but it felt honest and realistic.

Also, if you heard of Craig Ferguson, he wrote a hilarious memoir (http://www.amazon.com/American-Purpose-Improbable-Adventures-Unlikely/dp/0061998494/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1404325206&sr=1-1&keywords=craig+ferguson+books) that is also very honest about his addiction to drugs and alcohol. He also is well known for his Talk Show speech about alcoholism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZVWIELHQQY
