Not at all.

A constant groan lecturers have is that people don't actually turn up or listen to lectures, if they see that you genuinely have an interest in what they teach then it will really strengthen your application.

You should put it in but be careful that you don't sound like you only read it to put in your personal statement or that it changed your life as that sounds so fake. It is also advised to avoid mentioning books which are really typical of the subject and everybody will mention. If it's a bit out there or unique that's better
