Book Review - I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman by Nora Ephron
Category Book Reviews
I was in the mood for some good comedic writing, and this library pickup fit the bill perfectly... I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman by Nora Ephron. Ephron is the screenwriter for such movies as When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless In Seattle, and Silkwood. So without a doubt, the woman knows her way around a page. In "I Feel Bad", she explores her thoughts on aging, parenting, and other such things. Chapter titles include:
I Feel Bad About My Neck
I Hate My Purse
Serial Monogamy: A Memoir
On Maintenance
Blind as a Bat
Parenting in Three Stages
Moving On
Me and JFK: Now It Can Be Told
Me and Bill: The End of Love
Where I Live
The Story of My Life in 3500 Words or Less
The Lost Strudel or Le Strudel Perdu
On Rapture
What I Wish I'd Known
Considering the Alternative
Even though I'm not necessarily the correct gender to fully appreciate some of these musings, I still had a great time reading it. Blind as a Bat applies to *anyone* who's wondering why the font size in all printed material continues to shrink. What I Wish I'd Known has some sage advice (and I *am* feeling nostalgic for some of my 35 year old pains). And her rantings about how the neck tells all when it comes to age had both my wife and I laughing out loud...
It's not a long read (137 pages), so the time commitment is minimal. But the payback in some therapeutic laugher is priceless...
