For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleA very humorous, overall-lighthearted book. Within these pages, Ephron bemoans the struggles of aging necks, messy purses, routine personal upkeep, parenting, and not being able to find a once-loved food, among other things, all with wit and humor.I re...
I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman - Nora Ephron Nora Ephron is a woman I have a lot of respect for. She wrote my favorite movie of all time, When Harry Met Sally. I adore that movie and watch at least one per month much to my husband's chagrin (but I digress). I ...
I don't feel bad about my neck. I might someday be a woman in turtlenecks and scarves, but I kind of doubt it. I've never been divorced, let alone remarried, never lived in New York, I hate cooking, and am fairly indifferent about what I eat. So, pretty much nothing in common with Nora Ephron. She w...
I have mixed feelings about this - equally mixed - collection. Some essays are outstandingly good: these are "Moving On", "The Story of My Life in 3,500 Words or Less", and "Considering the Alternative". I appreciated "Serial Monogamy: A Memoir", "Parenting in Three Stages " and "The Lost Strudel or...

For instance, I don't live in an apt. in NYC, though I do completely understand having a ridiculous amount of love for one's home and community.I don't do...
A blurb from The New York Review calls this collection of 15 essays a "funny, sisterly collection." I didn't find it laugh-out-loud funny, although it was often smile-worthy--but there certainly were plenty of moments of identification for me to feel I found a sister in Nora Ephron. Hard to imagine ...
A series of essays on being a woman of a certain age. The writing was light and witty and the author narrated the audio in a conversational style that was very engaging throughout.
Loved, loved, loved these essays! The woman responsible for some of the wittiest one-liners ever uttered in some of the most famous romantic comedies applies her talent to real life and leaves us with similar belly laughs!Being a mother of teenagers this is one of my favorite quotes : "When your chi...
