Graham Norton

Advantages: Interesting and Entertaining
Disadvantages: A bit gossipy

...Every now and then I like to pick up something a little different from my standard John Grisham or Lee Child Novel.

Not that Mr. Norton is what I would class as one of my favourite celebrities, but having read a few things about his past in one of the Sunday papers a while back, I thought that it may make for an enlightening change of read.
