What did you think of Dirty Laundry? Is it worth getting? I’ve barely been reading lately, I need to get back into it. I keep buying parenting books and then not reading them and they just sit there judging me from my bedside table.

Currently reading 'The Rolling Stone Interviews' - a gift from my wife, which does what it says on the tin. Not interested in reading all of them, but it's fun looking back with semi-rose-tinted glasses via interviews with Axl Rose, Kurt Cobain, Patti Smith, etc from the 80s and 90s.
