What else would I recommend?

Gala, of course, the wife of Salvador Dali.

Yes.

Do it and invite me over.

Sure.

Where's the klaxon?

So I actually have quite a number of new dads in my life, and I'm going to just swing wildly between recommendations.

I do think any kind of Bruce Springsteen adjacent book, even though I will never read it, is a sure bet.

So there's one that came out this year called Tonight in Jungleland, which is all about the making of Born to Run.

I also think that this memoir... Now, you have to be on very good terms with this new dad, right?

So depending on where he is in his hormonal or, you know, sleep deprivation journey, this could be risky.

But...

The Uncool by Cameron Crowe, who was a journalist in the 70s.

He wrote for Rolling Stone.

And he had one of those sort of picker-esque lives where I think dad will be entertained and possibly could look down at his little bundle of emerging consciousness and think, oh, what a life my child might have.

Maybe he or she will go undercover and do great things and depict their childhood in a book.

I would love for you guys to develop some interiority and maybe not have your emotional life, you know, projected onto a ship sinking.

Okay, let's see.

I think a great option is always something for the snob.

I happen to know a lot of snobs in New York City.
