Marianne Faithfull, "Year One"

[stapsreads]

I bought this entirely because of its size (less than 50 pages) - it is a sample of Marianne Faithfull's autobiography and is going in my Short and Sweet bookbox. Having now read it, I know more about the Rolling Stones than I did before, but since I knew practically nothing about them before that's not saying much, and of course one can only fit so much into 46 pages. This is not to say that these 46 pages are not worth reading. This sample at least is very witty, and if I ever feel that I need to know more about the swinging sixties I know where to start.

'There were lots of things I could have done at the age of nineteen that would have been more healthy than becoming Mick Jagger's inamorata.'
