I Feel Bad about My Neck by Nora Ephron

This little book will probably hit a funny bone with the more mature female readers. Nora Ephron is the author who brought us When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail and much more. I Feel Bad about My Neck has essays on purses, cooking, parenting, reading and of course, the changes in your neck when you age. She actually thinks 90% of your clothes are eliminated because of neck style! In addition to the light essays are the more serious ones. Would thousands of young people still be alive if the series of events precipitated by Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky had not occurred? And in your 60's should you still be worrying about putting money away for retirement or just live it up? This book could be read in one sitting on a leisurely afternoon and you will find yourself chuckling out loud.
