Book - I Feel Bad About My Neck

A change of pace. This was a really quick but fun read. I bought it for 50 cents a while back.

It's a collection of essays, many on aging and its effects, previously published in other magazines. I've not read anything by Nora Ephron before, but I have seen When Harry Met Sally, which was good. There was some stuff I doubt I'll ever get, like life in Manhattan. Key money?!? Damned!

I chuckled a lot at the various witticisms and observations in the book - similar thoughts have flitted through my head on occasion. Everything from little things like purse contents, unrequited love with a building, body breakdown (neck), to bigger issues like parenting and empty nesting (not pertinent to us). I found the section on death really moving. I liked this book.
